[STATUS] 1.3b3-dev Mon Nov 10 19:35:07 EST 1997

As of:
    Mon Nov 10 19:35:07 EST 1997

Release:

    2.0  : In the future
    1.3b3: In development... Possible release 11/14/97 ??
    1.3b2: Tarball rolled and available
	   Source tagged as APACHE_1_3b2
	   Apache web-page reflects availability of 1.3b2

Plan:

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:

    * 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 this 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

    * PR#951 (CGIs on Win32)
	Open? Closed? Fixed?

    * SunOS and stdio
	Stupid broken Sun headers...

    * NameVirtualHost
	Causes mucho confusion... Dean is ready to ``admit defeat''
	but should we let him? Lars suggests making NameVirtualHost
	a required directive

    * 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

    * Apache Win32 v1.3b2 won't serve >16k
	Status: Has not be reproducable by project members
	Update: Ben has discovered the code that causes this. Will try
	to fix. Has a new guinea pig to try out his fixes.

    * tarball issues:
       o Remove .Z files? Dean says yes, others don't really care
       o md5 or pgp or some combo of both?
       o Brian says yes... Jim says +1, Martin +1

    * 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
	<Pi...@alive.znep.com>

I think you can treat this as "done". The MIME types are there,
binary icons appear (albeit not the same size as the rest),
so there's no problem any longer when people try to download
*.exe files. (there used to be problems due to text/plain NL->CRLF
conversion when downloading to Windoze machines. These problems are fixed).

+++   * Lars Eilebrecht's vhost revamp
committed

I added the prototypes to conf.h (#ifdef SUNOS_LIB_PROTOTYPES) where
all the other prototypes reside. Waiting for success/failure report.
I regard this as a blocking point for 1.3b3.

I'm confused by Brian's statement there... is this right?

I intend to fix the problem.  In fact that's what the "pool confusion"
patch is all about.
