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

  • HTTP - currently almost almost works! (we are so close)

    At add times the fllowing error is finding it's way into the     error log:

      [error] (32)Broken pipe: core_output_filter: writing data to the network

    It happens after the body send is complete - it looks like we     are trying to send data after the request, but the browser     has closed the connection.

  • problems with akamai proxies - under investigation
Do you need more help?X

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: <199907080712.JAA28269@chill.innovation.ch> Status:
  • 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 patch
  • Bill Rowe's suggested fix for Win32

2.0

  • FTP: PORT does not work There is a problem with this proxy accepting connections from the remote ftp server. The connection is accepted, and the remote server sends data, but the proxy does not acknowledge the data. The default is PASV - so this isn't a trainsmash.
  • announce to current-testers@ to get some looking at
    • 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)

2.0+

  • none

Other known bugs that need fixing:

1.3.x

  • none

2.0

  • none

2.0+

  • none

Other features that need writing:

Can we help you?X

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

  • none

2.0+

  • none

Available Patches:

Can't find what you're looking for?X

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:
    1. The code compiles and runs as often as any code in the tree
    2. The functionality makes sense for an HTTP proxy
    3. 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
