[STATUS] (httpd-proxy) Wed Sep 26 23:45:17 EDT 2001
HTTPD PROXY STATUS:
Last modified at [$Date: 2001/08/30 20:21:56 $]
Release:
intended for 1.3/2.0 release date
httpd 1.3.x)
Source for HTTP/1.1 mod_proxy is now available
in httpd-proxy/module-1.0/ via CVS
Note: this code now maintains binary compatibility
first HTTP/1.1 support patch complete; available at
http://dev.apache.org/dist/patches/apply_to_1.3.19/
Current HTTP/1.1 patch at
http://dev.apache.org/dist/patches/apply_to_1.3-current
httpd 2.0)
work ongoing
Graham's patches for httpd-2.0 committed
httpd 2.0+)
email block diagrams exchanged, and clarified a little
talk about these at ApacheCon AFA a new proxy and cache design
got good feedback from Theo and Ian
RELEASE SHOWSTOPPERS:
a), b), c) below.
2.0
* problems with akamai proxies - under investigation
This problem is fixed on FreeBSD 4.3 and Linux 2.2 as of 6/26/01
* Inter-module dependencies cause the proxy to act up on AIX as a
DSO. Hack in place currently - need to clean this up.
* Remove the last bits of non-threadsafe code. inet_ntoa springs to mind.
RELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP:
1.3.x
* Ronald Tschaler's patch to mod_proxy to allow other modules to
set headers too (needed by mod_auth_digest)
Message-ID: <19...@chill.innovation.ch>
Status: TBD
* announce to current-testers@ to get some looking at
* possibly to fold this into a later release (1.3.20++?)
currently being maintained as a separate code base + patch
* Bill Rowe's suggested fix for Win32 - done
* Kwindla Kramer's patches for downstream cache control
Message-ID: <15...@khk.allafrica.com>
Status: under consideration
* Luis Londono's mod_ssl post patch to fix up after mod_ssl installed
Message-ID: <01...@nisbic.com>
Status: this needs to go to the mod_ssl guys
2.0
* announce to current-testers@ to get some looking at
* Audit all calls to ap_[get,pass]_brigade, and check that
the return values are inspected and acted upon correctly.
As it is, we blithely ignore FAR too many of these calls.
General return code audit would be nice too...
* problems when streaming mp3 from live365.com, and audio stream dies
and reconnects - we seem to be hanging on the stream close, since
the client (iTunes) may not be actually closing the connection
(not believed to be an HTTP proxy problem)
* Remove any and all code tied to IPv4, for IPv6 compatibility. Go looking
for in_addr.
* Possibly set SO_REUSEPORT in the ftp proxy, as some ftp servers may need
it.
* Possible proxy waiting scoreboard state
2.0+
* none
Other known bugs that need fixing:
1.3.x
* many PRs to be cleaned up
2.0
* none
2.0+
* none
Other features that need writing:
1.3.x
* mod_rewrite and possibly mod_include cleanup
2.0
* none
2.0+
* none
Documentation that needs editing:
1.3.x
* mod_proxy.html (needs a once-over)
2.0
* mod_proxy.html
2.0+
* none
Available Patches:
1.3.x
* PR#3489 patch for NoCache/mod_rewrite problem
2.0
* none
2.0+
* none
Open Issues:
* Eventual reintegration into httpd-2.0. The basic criteria are:
a) The code compiles and runs as often as any code in the tree
b) The functionality makes sense for an HTTP proxy
c) There is an active maintainer who is or can become an ASF
member.
* announce to current-testers@ to get some looking at (1.3/2.0 both)
* announce for inclusion vote and Graham commit privs - done (sort of)
Problem reports to clean up (finally):
NOTE: These are pulled directly from httpd-2.0's STATUS.
* PR#362: mod_proxy
Mod_proxy doesn't allow change of error pages
Status:
* PR#440: mod_proxy
Proxy doesn't deliver documents if not connected
Status:
* PR#534: mod_proxy
proxy converts ~name to %7Ename when name starts with a dot (.)
Status:
* PR#612: mod_proxy
Proxy FTP Authentication Fails
Status:
* PR#700: mod_proxy
Proxy doesn't do links right for OpenVMS files through ftp:
Status:
* PR#980: mod_proxy
Controlling Access to Remote Proxies would be nice...
Status:
* PR#994: mod_proxy
Adding authentication "on the fly" through the proxy module
Status:

ProxyRemote make a dead cycle.
Status:

mod_proxy to support persistent conns?
Status:

That would be http://cvs.apache.org/builds/httpd-proxy/

Um, I don't think the proxy subproject is going away, is it?
We still have work in module-1.0 before it gets handed off (we will
bring that one up after 1.3.21 is released) and I would anticipate a
module-2.1 subdir getting created in httpd-proxy for work other than
cache development (things like additional protocols, connection pooling,
etc).
I've switched over the nightly build and 4/day builds at
http://www.cvs.apache.org/builds/httpd-proxy/
to reflect the mod_proxy recommit (three cheers for Graham!!!) and the
tarball name change (lose the "+mod_proxy") for the 2.0 snapshot will
take effect on the 1500 build. This 2.0 snapshot differs from the
regular 2.0 snapshot in that it contains apr and apr-util, and is
already autoconf'ed.
Does this sound sane?
