Status of the apr_filepath_merge overhaul
Here is where things stand (as I go off to bed to clear my brain)...
There is something odd in mod_negotiation, beyond getting 406's on top
of errors, that I need to trace in the morning. It is definately related to
the change to buffered code, but I'm not sure if it's mod_negotiation, or
the apr buffering that's broken. Then I need to place the code for the
new directive I've just committed for the ForceLanguagePreference
The win32 specific problems are fixed, we now get dir_configs again (the
first '/' entry was not tagged d_is_absolute, so it never looked further.)
Since win32 essentially works, I suspect that unix does as well. The big
kicker, did I code apr_filepath_merge correctly? If so, we are good.
I will further optimize the no-pre-path-info version of directory_walk
tommorow, and assure it's solid so we can try that changeover. All the
other window dressing today was necessary before that change stood a good
chance of working (correctly).
Finally, mod_alias needs a good optimiziation whumping which I'll attack
as soon as I can, and go back through my list of 12 potential security holes.
Boy the list is slow tonight... dunno what's up in the last hour and a half,
but my brain isn't much faster. [Daughter's dinner was great, sorry I needed
to disappear right after inflicting those patches today.] Back at it tommorow.
