RE: Crypt::SSLeay

2003-01-30 Thread MATHIHALLI,MADHUSUDAN (HP-Cupertino,ex1)
Ah.. I think I know why I did not see the problem.. On hp-ux, perl 5.8.0
comes inbuilt with Net::SSLeay, and any Net::SSL is satisfied by the
Net:SSLeay rather than from Crypt::SSLeay.. Net::SSLeay doesn't have this
problem of not initializing the library.

That's actually sorta sad... are they missing CRYPTO_malloc_init as well?

Stuff to do:
* finish the t/TEST exit code issue (ORed with 0x2C if
  framework failed)

* change existing tests that frob the DocumentRoot (e.g.,
  t/modules/access.t) to *not* do that; instead, have
  Makefile.PL prepare appropriate subdirectory configs
  for them.  Why?  So t/TEST can be used to test a
  remote server.

* problems with -d perl mode, doesn't work as documented

Release:

1.0:   Released July 23, 2002
milestone-03:  Tagged January 16, 2002
ASF-transfer:  Released July 17, 2001
milestone-02:  Tagged August 13, 2001
milestone-01:  Tagged July 11, 2001 (tag lost during transfer)

RELEASE SHOWSTOPPERS:

* "Everything needs to work perfectly"

Other bugs that need fixing:

* I get a SIGBUS on Darwin with our examples/round-robin-ssl.xml
  config, on the second URL. I'm using OpenSSL 0.9.6c 21 dec 2001.
  
* iPlanet sends "Content-length" - there is a hack in there now
  to recognize it.  However, all HTTP headers need to be normalized
  before checking their values.  This isn't easy to do.  Grr.

* OpenSSL 0.9.6
  Segfaults under high load.  Upgrade to OpenSSL 0.9.6b.
   Aaron says: I just found a big bug that might have been causing
   this all along (we weren't closing ssl sockets).
   How can I reproduce the problem you were seeing
   to verify if this was the fix?

* SEGVs when /tmp/.rnd doesn't exist are bad. Make it configurable
  and at least bomb with a good error message. (See Doug's patch.)
   Status: This is fixed, no?

* If APR has disabled threads, flood should as well. We might want
  to have an enable/disable parameter that does this also, providing
  an error if threads are desired but not available.

* flood needs to clear pools more often. With a long running test
  it can chew up memory very quickly. We should just bite the bullet
  and create/destroy/clear pools for each level of our model:
  farm, farmer, profile, url/request-cycle, etc.

* APR needs to have a unified interface for ephemeral port
  exhaustion, but aparently Solaris and Linux return different
  errors at the moment. Fix this in APR then take advantage of
  it in flood.

* The examples/analyze-relative scripts fail when there are less
  than 5 unique URLs.

Other features that need writing:

* More analysis and graphing scripts are needed

* Write robust tool (using tethereal perhaps) to take network dumps 
  and convert them to flood's XML format.
Status: Justin volunteers.  Aaron had a script somewhere that is
a start.

* Get chunked encoding support working.
Status: Justin volunteers.  He got sidetracked by the httpd
implementation of input filtering and never finished 
this.  This is a stopgap until apr-serf is completed.

* Maybe we should make randfile and capath runtime directives that
  come out of the XML, instead of autoconf parameters.

* We are using apr_os_thread_current() and getpid() in some places
  when what we really want is a GUID. The GUID will be used to
  correlate raw output data with each farmer. We may wish to print
  a unique ID for each of farm, farmer, profile, and url to help in
  postprocessing.

* We are using strtol() in some places and strtoll() in others.
  Pick one (Aaron says strtol(), but he's not sure).

* Validation of responses (known C-L, specific strings in response)
   Status: Justin volunteers

* HTTP error codes (ie. teach it about 302s)
   Justin says: Yeah, this won't be with round_robin as implemented.  
Need a linked list-based profile where we can insert 
new URLs into the sequence.

* Farmer (Single-thread, multiple profiles)
   Status: Aaron says: If you have threads, then any Farmer can be
   run as part of any Farm. If you don't have threads, you can
   currently only run one Farmer named "Joe" right now (this will
   be changed so that if you don't have threads, flood will attempt
   to run all Farmers in serial under one process).

* Collective (Single-host, multiple farms)
  This is a number of Farms that have been fork()ed into child processes.

* Megaconglomerate (Multiple hosts each running a collective)
  This is a number of Collectives running on a number of hosts, invoked
  via RSH/SSH or maybe even some proprietary mechanism.

* Other types of urllists
a) Random / Random-weighted
b) Sequenced (useful with cookie propogation)
c) Round-robin
d) Chaining of the above strategies
  Status: Round-robin is complete.

* Other types of reports
  Status: Aaron says: "simple" reports are functional. Justin added
  a new type that simply prints the approx. timestamp when
  the test was run, and the result as OK/FAIL; it is called
  "easy reports" (see flood_easy_reports.h).
  Furthermore, simple_reports and easy_reports both print
  out the current requesting URI line.

Documentation that needs writing:

* Docume

Figured it out.  It was a bug in Crypt::SSLeay ... not sure how it ever
even worked.  I'm sending them the following patch:
