HTTPD PROXY STATUS:
Last modified at [$Date: 2001/07/01 07:35:17 $]
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
- HTTP - currently almost almost works! (we are so close)
At add times the following error is finding its 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.
We believe that the only errors of this sort are fixed now that client aborts are handled better - you'll see one per open connection if the user aborts HTTP, just one of these for FTP abort
- problems with akamai proxies - under investigation This problem is fixed on FreeBSD 4.3 and Linux 2.2 as of 6/26/01
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: 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: <15089.34684.423523.700807@khk.allafrica.com> Status: under consideration
- Luis Londono's mod_ssl post patch to fix up after mod_ssl installed Message-ID: <019801c0dca9$9e80aa70$448553d8@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)
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:
- The code compiles and runs as often as any code in the tree
- The functionality makes sense for an HTTP proxy
- 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)
