RELEASE SHOWSTOPPERS:
PROPOSED PATCHES FOR THIS RELEASE:
*) mod_rewrite: Fix 0 bytes write into random memory position. PR 31036.
(2.0 + 1.3)
http://www.apache.org/~nd/dbmmap_1.3.patch
+1: nd
*) mod_rewrite:Fix query string handling for proxied URLs. PR 14518.
modules/mappers/mod_rewrite.c: r1.259 (2.x patch - need 1.3 version)
+1: nd
*) mod_log_config: Cleanup log_header_out function to allow multiple headers
like Set-Cookie to be logged properly. PR 27787
modules/loggers/mod_log_config.c: r1.116 (2.x patch - need 1.3 version)
jerenkrantz asks: Isn't this what apr_table_merge is for?
nd replies: yep. But cookies won't be merged, because browsers don't
support it.
jerenkrantz: Couldn't we copy the table and merge the values somehow?
This just seems like a lot of code to duplicate what we
have already. *shrug*
+1: nd, jerenkrantz
RELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
* PR: 27023 Cookie could not delivered if the cookie made before
proxy module.
* isn't ap_die() broken with recognizing recursive errors
Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
+1: jeff, jim
* Current vote on 3 PRs for inclusion:
Bugz #17877 (passing chunked encoding thru proxy)
(still checking if RFC compliant... vote is on the
correctness of the patch code only).
+1: jim, chuck, minfrin
Bugz #9181 (Unable to set headers on non-2XX responses)
+1: Martin, Jim
Gnats #10246 (Add ProxyConnAllow directive)
+0: Martin (or rather -.5, see dev@ Message
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>)
* htpasswd.c and htdigest.c use tmpnam()... consider using
mkstemp() when available.
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Status:
* Dean's "unescaping hell" (unescaping the various URI components
at the right time and place, esp. unescaping the host name).
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Status:
* Martin observed a core dump because a ipaddr_chain struct contains
a NULL-"server" pointer when being dereferenced by invoking "httpd -S".
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Status: Workaround enabled. Clean solution can come after 1.3.19
* long pathnames with many components and no AllowOverride None
Workaround is to define <Directory /> with AllowOverride None,
which is something all sites should do in any case.
Status: Marc was looking at it. (Will asks 'wasn't this patched?')
* Ronald Tschalär's patch to mod_proxy to allow other modules to
set headers too (needed by mod_auth_digest)
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Status:
Available Patches (Most likely, will be ported to 2.0 as appropriate):
* A rewrite of ap_unparse_uri_components() by Jeffrey W. Baker
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> to more fully close some segfault potential.
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Status: Jim +1 (for 1.3.19), Martin +0
* Andrew Ford's patch (1999/12/05) to add absolute times to mod_expires
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Status: Martin +1, Jim +1, Ken +1 (on concept)
* Raymond S Brand's path to mod_autoindex to fix the header/readme
include processing so the envariables are correct for the included
documents. (Actually, there are two variants in the patch message,
for two different ways of doing it.)
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Status: Martin +1(concept)
* Jayaram's patch (10/27/99) for bugfix to mod_autoindex
IndexIgnore <file-extension> should hide the files with this file-
extension in directory listings. This was NOT happening because the
total filename was being compared with the file-extension.
Status: Martin +1(untested), Ken +1(untested)
* Salvador Ortiz Garcia <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>' patch to allow DirectoryIndex
to refer to URIs for non-static resources.
MID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Status: Ken +1 (on concept), Lars +1 (on concept)
* Brian Havard's patch to remove dependency of mod_auth_dbm on mod_auth.
(PR#2598)
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Status: Lars +1 (on concept), Ken +1 (on concept),
Martin +1(untested)
* Aidan Cully's patch to allow assignment of 'ownership' of resources
to either the server UID or the file's owner.
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Status: Ken +1, Dean +1, Randy +1, Lars +0, Jim +1
In progress:
Needs patch:
* get_path_info bug; ap_get_remote_host should be ap_vformatter instead.
See: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
* URI issues
- RFC2068 requires a server to recognize its own IP addr(s) in
dot notation, we do this fine if the user follows the
dns-caveats documentation... we should handle it in the case
the user doesn't ever supply a dot-notation address.
* Problems dealing with .-rooted domain names such as "twinlark."
versus "twinlark.arctic.org.". See the thread containing
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for more
details. In particular this affects the correctness of the
proxy and the vhost mechanism.
* proxy_*_canon routines use r->proxyreq incorrectly. See
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Open issues:
* Should we provide a way to force CustomError responses past IE's
'prettify-if-less-than-N-bytes' bogosity?
* general/3787: SERVER_PORT is always 80 if client comes to any port
=> needs review by the protocol guys, I think.
* All DBMs suffer from confusion in dbmmanage (perl script) since the
dbmmanage creates in the first-matched dbm format. This is not
necessarily the library that Apache was built with. Aught to
rewrite dbmmanage with the proper library for clean administration.
* Marc's socket options like source routing (kill them?)
Marc, Martin say Yes
* In ap_bclose() there's no test that (fb->fd != -1) -- so it's
possible that it'll do something completely bogus when it's
used for read-only things. - Dean Gaudet
* Roy's HTTP/1.1 Wishlist items:
1) byte range error handling
* use of spawnvp in uncompress_child in mod_mime_magic - doesn't
use the new child_info structure, is this still safe? Needs to be
looked at.
* suexec doesn't understand argv parameters; e.g.
<!--#exec cmd="./ls -l" -->
fails even when "ls" is in the same directory because suexec is trying
to stat a file called "ls -l". A patch for this is available at
http://www.xnet.com/~emarshal/suexec.diff
and it's not bad except that it doesn't handle programs with spaces in
the filename (think win32, or samba-mounted filesystems). There are
several PR's to this and I don't see for security reasons why we can't
accomodate it, though it does add complexity to suexec.c.
Accepting quoted executable names solves that issue, except that the
exec cmd="" parsing needs to accept escaped quotes.
PR #1120
Brian: +1
Status: Already resolved in Apache 2.0 - exec is defined as passing
the cmd="" argument as argv[0], which means it is -only- the
file name to execute (with spaces allowed in the name.)
Win32/Netware specific issues:
* mod_rewrite's cache isn't threadsafe, needs a mutex on Win32/Netware
(and OS/2?)
* apparently either "BrowserMatch" or the "nokeepalive" variable
cause instability - see PR#1729.
