No, they have not blessed it.

told me that the SPEC mandates the web server to fork a child process to
execute a CGI script - is that so ?.
Yes, that is so.  You need to configure a SPEC CGI independently from 
mod_specweb99.  Fortunately this is only a tiny fraction of the workload.

In spite of the low frequency of CGI requests, I've seen multiple zombie CGI 
processes hanging around quite often.   Bill S. had a fix for 
apr/unix/pools.c::free_proc_chain not too long ago that might help with the 
zombies.  Switching to a compiled CGI as Dave suggested wouldn't hurt either.

Sounds like we have a volunteer.  =)  I don't believe it would be 
terribly hard to add digest support.  We already save the cookies on

Speaking of cgi scripts - be sure to use the C based one for this, the
perl based reference is quite a bit more cpu intensive. The cgi
component really adds up in the cpu time, but then again, I think that
was part of the point. The assumption was that a busy site would do
certain things in the fastest way possible (ie mod_specweb) but that
some things would continue to be done the hard way (basic cgi). If
anyone does not have a copy of the C program you can get it from me or
from the specweb archives (part of the submittals).

Digest Auth Benchmark?

2003-02-19 Thread Paul Querna
is there any benchmarking tool that does Digest Authentication?

As far as I can see ab, flood and all others that I can find on google,  just
do basic auth.

Is anyone interested in writing digest authentication abilities into flood?

I'll just state that this list is the home for flood development.  =)
We need a 'real' release. That is, one that follows httpd release
guidelines as close as possible. This produces a few problems, in
particular:
Yup.
1. KEYS file
In order to sign release tarballs, RM needs a valid PGP/GPG key in
public KEYS file. I suggested separate KEYS file, but since Justin
pointed out that there's no problem importing given key to httpd
KEYS file (even if that person is not directly related to httpd
development) -- it might not be the best idea after all.
Yup, when you are ready to do the release, just add your key to the 
KEYS file in httpd-dist.  If you need access to the repository (you 
probably don't have it already), drop me a line and I will ensure you 
are added to httpd-dist.  (Or, just submit a patch to this list with 
your public key and one of us can commit it.)

We can also setup a way to verify your key as well.  I'm not aware of 
anyone else who lives near you, but we may be able to find someone on 
the same continent.  (If possible, we could arrange a phone call or 
something - making international calls is a bit troublesome for me, 
but I imagine we can work something out.)

2. tarball signing
We have to sing releases. As Sander said -- even if flood uses no
special privileges and won't open socket listening for incoming
connection, we have to sign tarballs, to assure everybody, that
even httpd subproject releases are secure and high quality. I'm +1
on this.
Totally.  =)
It's about time to get my and Phi-Long's patches out the door, so
after we have things sorted out -- let's do a 1.1 release. After
that we have to define showstoppers for 1.2 and start to work on
that. My key task for 1.2 is documentation. Merge with httpd-docs
subprojects right now seems tricky to me, but we can have our own
xsl for the time beeing. And that is just what I'm gonna work on
right now.
Yup.
If there's anything I can do to help, let me know.  But, I'll stand 
back and let you work your magic.  If you need help or guidance, let 
me know and I'll give pointers.

It's unlikely that I'll have a lot of time, but I should be able to 
test a release candidate and provide feedback.  Good luck!  -- justin

I checked out http-test/flood, apr, and apr-util from the

got errors while running buildconf in all 3, flood, apr and

You need to install libtool.  You can get it from:
http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/libtool.html
You may also need autoconf as well:
http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/
Also in the
http.conf, I have set the ScoreBoard file to
logs/apache_runtime_status but it hasnt been created. What else do
I have to do for it? I executed the show_compile_settings()
function in the code and it shows HAVE_SHMGET ON and
USE_SHMGET_SCOREBOARD ON. Do I have to change anything else to see
the scoreboard file??
I believe shmget() does not actually create the scoreboard file in a 
manner in which other processes can read them.

Good luck!  -- justin

As far as I am aware, the module has not been used for benchmarks submitted
to the SPEC organization. That is the moment any code would get 'blessed':
SPEC validates the results and the way they were obtained and the
benchmarkee submits the API source code as part of this process.

This is the case for Dynamic CGI GET requests. You set a special URL for
this in your rc file. All other dynamic requests can be processed by
in-process code and most if not all submittors have written code for this.
