In progress:
* Martin Kraemer's [PATCH] Parsing URI into its components
This has "evolved" into a new module: util_uri. Martin
will post when it's at a state where he's happy with it.
Needs patch:
Closed issues:
* Removal of inetd mode
Ken says he'll try to maintain it, since there are
people/places who need it
Open issues:
* discard_request_body only called in default_handler() and not die()
which causes, for example, mod_cgi not to do the right
thing. Add 'dummy = discard_request_body(r);' ?
* Ken suggests that new check_cmd_context() and related defines
should be non-static and in util_* so modules can use 'em. (He
didn't notice this flaw during the review.)
* Sameer's mod_so implemetation
See <19...@gabber.c2.net>
Issues: Underscores: Should I try prepending, appending, and
ignoring? -> Alexei says look at Java
Location? os/unix ??
* 206 vs. 200 issue on Content-Length
See <Pi...@valis.worldgate.com>
* Conditional logging and aplogger
Dean broke piped logging, -DNO_OTHER_CHILD to disable the reliable
stuff if you depend on piped logging. I figure nobody must, since
we haven't seen a bug report and it'd show up easily under moderate
load. Brian thinks Cond. logging is taking us in an opposite
direction from where we should be going.
* Brian's ``strange performance delays''
<3....@hyperreal.org>
mod_proxy and garbage collection?
see: <19...@deejai.mch.sni.de>
* Marc's socket options like source routing (kill them?)
Marc, Dean, Martin say Yes
* NameVirtualHost
Causes mucho confusion... Dean is ready to ``admit defeat''
but should we let him? Lars suggests making NameVirtualHost
a required directive or at least an error message, since
it will snag many who go from 1.2 to 1.3.
* DDA's adding a tray application to the Windoze version for ease of
status/management.
<01...@caravan.individual.com>
<01...@caravan.individual.com>
Status: Ken +1, Sameer +1, Martin +1, Ben +1 (as long as
we get a single executable)
Paul: No like Win95 specific stuff
* The PR#918 patch above appears to have been bogus, should be fixed or
reversed. It has been reversed for now.
* Martin's SEGV, and Alexei's GP Fault under windows (probably the same)
* Marc's [BUG] include virtual and SCRIPT_NAME w/path_info

Superceded by Dean's [PATCH] clean up check_cmd_context
<Pi...@twinlark.arctic.org>
So the ShowStopper is out of the way when Dean has committed...
Looking forward to 1.3b3!

This should be fixed now that "pool confusion" is committed. I've been
running that patch on arctic.org without trouble for 4 days now (I use
piped logging). This fixes both of the problems I've seen with piped
logging so far.

Lars' documentation is really good, I say we can remove this note for now
and deal with it in 2.0.
