2.1.4 available for testing

Hi all,

There are some 2.1.4-alpha tarballs waiting to be tested at:

  http://httpd.apache.org/dev/dist/

Please report back with any problems.

Thanks for testing!

Would you be against re-rolling 2.1.4 with an updated apr-iconv that uses the
APR_ICONV1_PATH environment variable instead and calling that 2.1.4 tarball
beta?  My understanding is that this change is done entirely within APR-iconv
and does not have any direct effect on httpd.  Therefore, the httpd code
is identical and unchanged: only the dependency is updated.

I'm reluctant to waste yet another release because a dependency has bugs that
have nothing whatsoever to do with httpd.  I also still feel that these are
issues that would be safe to resolve during the beta process.  -- justin

First, I'm -1 on moving 2.1.4 to -beta- until the conflicts 
between apr-iconv 0.9 and 1.x are resolved.  The apr team is
currently addressing this.

As far as alpha, my recent commit to pcre raises a concern that
may or may not apply to httpd.  The byteflip function did some
quick extention and trunction between 16 and 32 bit quantities
that don't concern me much.

But byteflip's other side effect was to sign-extend the result
into meaningless gunk, as right shift signed is allowed to
carry the negation bit.  This function is only used for pre
compiled regular expression structures.  I'm not certain we
even have such entities.  It is only tripped when the regex
was compiled on big/little endian platform and processed on
a little/big endian (converse) platform.

So it's clearly broken in this edge case, but I'm not certain
that httpd is affected.  Anyone with cycles to research?

In other news, the other few compile emits are cleaned up,
and everything is clear for the next candidate.

+1 for beta on Darwin (modulo httpd-test issues from last time).

+/- 0 for alpha based on apr-iconv 1.1.0

Revisiting issues for apr-iconv 1.1.1 - if that's our prerequisite,
then I'm likely to lean +1.

I'd think so.  See modules/test/

mod_optional_fn_export.c
mod_optional_fn_export.h
mod_optional_fn_import.c

Optional functions are for many:one implementations

mod_optional_hook_export.c
mod_optional_hook_export.h
mod_optional_hook_import.c

Optional hooks are for many:many implementations, where you want
multiple backends.

These calls seem to be fn's not hooks.

Is this easy to do?

/me has yet to learn about optional functions.

It would be nice if before 2.2 we got around to changing the
mod_ldap api to register optional functions.  It will still fail
to start if the user didn't load mod_ldap, but at least we would
accept them loaded in either order.

The order of modules is no longer important for configuration purposes 
(as I understand), but it is important for practical reasons when one 
module depends on another module, for example in this case where 
mod_authnz_ldap depends on mod_ldap.

Ahh! I thought that loading order was something from the past?

Well, it works now. Will try some more after I have gotten some sleep...

Thanks Paul.

Change the load order in your httpd.conf.
move the LoadModule for mod_ldap to before mod_authnz_ldap.

Hmm..., I get:

Starting httpd21: httpd21: Syntax error on line 241 
of /etc/httpd21/conf/httpd21.conf: Cannot 
load /usr/lib64/apache21/mod_authnz_ldap.so into 
server: /usr/lib64/apache21/mod_authnz_ldap.so: undefined symbol: 
util_ldap_cache_getuserdn

This happens on Mandrakelinux 10.1 (x86_64) and Mandrakelinux 10.2 (i586)
