Changes - Apache mod_perl change logfile
all changes without author attribution are by Doug MacEachern
Also refer to the Apache::Test changes log file, at Apache-Test/Changes
$filter->seen_eos() now accepts 1/0 to set/unset the flag so streaming filters can control the sending of EOS. [Stas]
support systems where apr header files are installed separately from httpd header files ["Andres Salomon" <dilinger@voxel.net>]
implement init filter handlers + tests [Stas]
improving ModPerl::MethodLookup to: - handle more aliased perl XS functions - sort the methods map struct so one can use the autogenerated map as is - add lookup_module, tells which methods are defined by a given module - add lookup_object, tells which methods can be called on a given object - provide autoexported wrappers print_method, print_module and print_object for easy deployment from the command line [Stas]
add Perl glue for functions: APR::Socket::timeout_get APR::Socket::timeout_set [Stas]
similar to SetEnv, upcase the env keys for PassEnv on platforms with caseless env (e.g. win32) [steve.sparling@ps.ge.com]
Add a backcompat wrapper for $r->notes (mp2 supports only the APR::Table API) [Stas]
Add a script mp2bug and a target 'make bugreport', so people can use bugreporting during the build and after modperl is installed. [Stas]
Add a script mp2doc as a replacement for perldoc (due to 2.0 modules living under Apache2, which won't be looked at by perldoc). [Stas]
Add a constant APR::PerlIO::PERLIO_LAYERS_ARE_ENABLED and use it in tests [Stas]
Require perl 5.8 or higher when building mod_perl on OSes requiring ithreads (e.g., win32), since 5.6.x ithreads aren't good. [Stas]
MP_COMPAT_1X=0 now can be passed to Makefile.PL to disable mp1-back-compat compile-time features + adjust tests. [Stas]
<SERVER_ROOT> and <SERVER_ROOT>/lib/perl are now added to @INC, just like mod_perl 1.0 with MP_COMPAT_1X=1 (currently enabled by default). [Stas]
The Perl-5.8.0 crypt() workaround is now used only if 5.8.0 is used, since 5.8.1-tobe/5.9.0-tobe(blead-perl) won't compile with it. [Geoffrey Young]
new directives PerlSetInputFilter and PerlSetOutputFilter, which are the same as SetInputFilter and SetOutputFilter respectively, but allow to insert non-mod_perl filters before, between or after mod_perl filters. + tests [Stas]
improved filters debug tracing [Stas]
implement $filter->remove (filter self-removal) + tests [Stas]
remove the second-guessing code that was trying to guess the package name to load from the handler configuration (by stripping ::string and trying to load the package). fall back to using explicit PerlModule to load modules whose handler sub name is not called 'handler' + adjust tests. [Stas]
set the magic taint flags before modules are required [Stas]
make sure to set base server's mip before any of the PerlRequire/PerlModule directives are called, since they may add add_config(), which in turn runs Perl sections or PerlLoadModule, which may need the scfg->mip to be set. [Stas]
ModPerl::MM is now ready to be used in Makefile.PL of 3rd party mod_perl modules [Stas and Geoff]
fix a segfault caused by PerlModule in $s->add_config, due to setting the MP_init_done flag before init was done + add test [Stas]
adjust the generated Makefile's to properly build on aix (tested on powerpc-ibm-aix5.1.0.0) [Stas]
the build now automatically glues the .pod files to the respective .pm files, so one can use perldoc on .pm files to read the documentation. [Stas]
provide a workaround for ExtUtils::MakeMaker::mv_all_methods, so ModPerl::BuildMM and ModPerl::MM can override EU::MM methods behind the scenes. [Stas]
adding ModPerl::BuildMM, which is now used for building mod_perl. ModPerl::MM will be used for 3rd party modules. ModPerl::BuildMM reuses ModPerl::MM where possible. [Stas]
drop the glue code for apr_generate_random_bytes, since it's not available on all platforms. [Stas]
Since non-threaded mpms don't use tipools in mips, don't create and destroy them. [Stas]
re-use the workaround for glibc/Perl-5.8.0 crypt() bug for the main/vhost base perl interpreters as well. This solves the problem for the buggy glibc on RH8.0. [Stas]
send_cgi_header now turns the header parsing off and can send any data attached after the response headers as a response body. [Stas]
move the check that print/printf/puts/write/etc are called in the response phase into the functions themselves so 1) we can print a more useful error message 2) this check is not always needed in modperl_wbucket_write, when called internally, so we save some cycles. [Stas]
add checks that print/printf/puts/write/etc are called in the response phase. move the check into the functions themselves so we can print a more useful error message [Stas]
'make install' now installs mod_perl*h files under httpd's include tree [Stas]
When PerlOptions +ParseHeaders is an effect, the CGI headers parsing won't be done if any *mod_perl* handler before and including the response phase, sets $r->content_type. (similar behavior to mp1's send_http_header() [Stas]
Registry: make sure that $r is not in the scope when the script is compiled [Stas]
$Apache::Server::SaveConfig added. When set to a true value, will not clear the content of Apache::ReadConfig:: once <Perl > sections are processed. [Philippe M. Chiasson <gozer@cpan.org]
Apache::compat: support 1.0's Apache->push_handlers, Apache->set_handlers and Apache->get_handlers [Stas]
revamp the code handling output flushing and flush bucket sending. Namelly modperl_wbucket_flush and modperl_wbucket_pass now can be told to send a flush bucket by themselves, attaching it to the data bb they are already sending. This halfs the number of output filter invocations when the response handler flushes output via $| or rflush. adjust tests, which were counting the number of invocations. [Stas]
move ModPerl::RegistryCooker to use a hash as object (similar to mp1), to make it easier to subclass. [Nathan Byrd <nathan@byrd.net>]
$r->rflush has to flush internal modperl buffer before calling ap_rflush, so implement rflush, instead of autogenerating the xs code for it. [Stas]
fix the input filters handling of DECLINED handlers (consume the data, on behalf of the handler) + tests [Stas]
fix the code that autogenerates modperl_largefiles.h not to define macros matching m/^-/ (was a problem on aix-4.3.3) [Stas]
$Apache::Server::StrictPerlSections added. When set to a true value, will abort server startup if there are syntax errors in <Perl > sections [Philippe M. Chiasson <gozer@cpan.org]
Use Win32::GetShortPathName for Win32 to handle cases when the supplied MP_AP_PREFIX contains spaces. [Randy Kobes]
Bump up ThreadsPerChild for mpm_winnt in httpd.conf, which seems to help avoid server startup problems when running the tests. [Randy Kobes]
implement a new helper module ModPerl::MethodLookup to help figure out which module should be loaded when a certain method is reported to be missing. [Stas]
fix a bug for apr < 0.9.3, where it segfaults in apr_uri_unparse, if hostname is set, but not the scheme. In case the hostname is defined but scheme is not Apache::compat will default to the 'http' scheme, whereas APR::URI::unparse provides no default [Stas]
move $r->send_http_header implementation to Apache::compat. This allows the 1.0 code to run unmodified if $r->send_http_header is called before the response change. we already handle the check whether content_type was set, when deciding whether the headers are to be parsed inside modperl_wbucket_pass(). [Stas]
fixes to Apache::compat. make $r->connection->auth_type interface with r->ap_auth_type. make both $r->connection->auth_type and $r->connection->user writable. [Geoffrey Young]
Open up r->ap_auth_type, making it possible to write custom authen handlers that don't rely on Basic authentication or it's associated ap_* functions. [Geoffrey Young]
add Apache::Bundle2 [Stas]
Apache::Reload now supports the PerlPreConnectionHandler invocation mode, so connection filter and protocol modules can be automatically reloaded on change. [Stas]
implement Apache::current_callback + $r->current_callback goes into Apache::compat, since now we have a way too many callbacks unrelated to $r [Stas]
Add Apache::compat methods: $r->connection->auth_type and $r->connection->user (requires 'PerlOptions +GlobalRequest') + tests [Stas]
Several issues resolved with parsing headers, including making work the handlers calling $r->content_type() and not sending raw headers, when the headers scanning is turned on. Lots of tests added to exercise different situations. [Stas]
warn on using -T in ModPerl::Registry scripts when mod_perl is not running with -T [Stas]
perl 5.7.3+ has a built-in ${^TAINT} to test whether it's running under -(T|t). Backport ${^TAINT} for mod_perl running under 5.6.0-5.7.3, (what used to be $Apache::__T. $Apache::__T is available too, but deprecated. [Stas]
add PerlChildExitHandler implementation [Stas]
add PerlCleanupHandler implementation + test [Stas]
die when Apache->request returns nothing ('PerlOptions -GlobalRequest' or 'SetHandler modperl') [Stas]
New Apache::Directive methods: as_hash(), lookup() + tests + docs [Philippe M. Chiasson <gozer@cpan.org>]
Stacked handlers chain execution is now aborted when a handler returns something other than OK or DECLINED [Stas]
make $filter->read() in input streaming filters, use the same number of arguments as read() in the output filters. [Stas]
Implement $r->add_input_filter and $r->add_output_filter $c->add_input_filter and $c->add_output_filter and add tests [Stas]
Skip the handler package::func resolving error, only when the error message matches "Can't locate .*? in @INC", rather than just "Can't locate", since there are many other errors that start with that string. [Stas]
the top level 'make test' now descends into the ModPerl-Registry dir to run 'make test' there [Stas]
All response functions are now returning status and the callers check and croak on failure or progate them further. [Stas]
OPEN, CLOSE and FILENO implementation for Apache::RequestRec [Stas]
Another fix for the handling of the return status in ModPerl::RegistryCooker: reset the status to the original one only if it was changed by the script, otherwise return the execution status [Stas]
prevent segfault in $r->print / $filter->print (in output filter) and related functions when they are called before the response phase [Stas]
prevent segfault in send_http_header when it's called before the response phase [Stas]
input stream filtering support was added + tests (plus renaming filter tests so we can know from the test name what kind of filter is tested) [Stas]
Add proper support for mis-behaved feeding filters that send more than one EOS bucket in streaming filters + test. [Stas]
prevent a segfault when push_handlers are used to push a handler into the currently phase and switching the handler (perl-script/modperl) + tests [Stas]
Add $filter->seen_eos to the streaming filter api to know when eos has been seen, so special signatures can be passed and any data stored in the context flushed + tests. [Stas]
Add $filter->ctx to maintain state between filter invocation + tests [Stas]
Request input and output filters are now getting the EOS bucket, which wasn't passed through before. Now the context can be flushed on EOS. [Stas]
Correct ModPerl::RegistryCooker to reset %INC, after compile for .pl files which don't declare the package + add tests to check that [Stas]
Log the real error message when Foo::Bar::sub_name fails to resolve, because of a problem in Foo::Bar, when Foo::Bar *was* found [Stas]
Add PerlPreConnectionHandler support in Apache::Test [Stas]
Enable PerlPreConnectionHandler [Stas]
Support the Host: request header in Apache::TestClient [Stas]

port the support for NameWithVirtualHost in ModPerl::RegistryCooker and ModPerl::RegistryLoader [Stas]
fix the handling of the return status in ModPerl::RegistryCooker, add a test to verify that [Stas]
under non-threaded perl need to check whether mod_perl is running, when modperl_vhost_is_running check is done. [Stas]
fix $r->read to read all the requested amount of data if possible, adjust the test TestApache::read to verify that [Stas]
fix the method content() in Apache::compat to read a whole request body. same for ModPerl::Test::read_post. add tests. [Stas]
Adjust the reverse filter test to work on win32 (remove trailing \r) [Randy Kobes <randy@theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca>]
Strongly suggest win32 users to upgrade to 5.8.0, if they run 5.6.x [Randy Kobes <randy@theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca>]
When installing the mod_perl shared object, first need to check whether the directory 'modules' already exists, and create it if not. [Randy Kobes <randy@theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca>]
Add a capability to tune the test configuration sections ordering in Apache::TestConfigPerl [Stas Bekman]
fix the complaining code about late PerlSwitches when PerlLoadModule is used before it [Stas Bekman]
add various tests that exercise PerlLoadModule and vhosts [Stas Bekman]
handle correctly PerlLoadModules (directives) with vhosts: - handle gracefully cases when things are undef/NULL - handle the case when scfg==NULL, by stealing the base_servers's config [Stas Bekman]
make mod_perl work with vhosts when the server is started prior to post_config(): - call modperl_init_globals as early as possible, because the main server record is needed during the configuration parsing, for perlloadmodule and vhosts - also make sure that we are using a real base_server, when dealing with modperl_init, and if not retrieve it from the global record [Stas Bekman]
prevent segfaults, when scfg is NULL in Apache::Module->get_config(); [Stas Bekman]
ensure that a core file is a file indeed, before complaining [Philippe M. Chiasson <gozer@cpan.org>]

add an Apache::SIG backcompat stub to Apache::compat [Stas Bekman]
fix the Apache::TestConfigPerl's run_apache_test_config() function where test packages are scanned for the magic APACHE_TEST_CONFIGURE and if found get require()'d. Apache2 needs to be run for mod_perl 2.0. [Stas Bekman]
move the custom mod_perl 2.0 configuration bits out of the ModPerl::TestRun, where they don't belong, into a special config file which is included at the very end of httpd.conf [Stas Bekman]
extend Apache::Test to allow extra configuration files to be included at the very end of httpd.conf, when everything was loaded and configured [Stas Bekman]
resolve a segfault in Apache::Module::get_config() for the edge case when the package name is bogus. [Stas Bekman]
Apache::Reload: add support for watching and reloading modules only in specified sub-dirs [Harry Danilevsky <harry@deerfieldcapital.com>]
enable APR.pm's linking for apr 0.9.2 and higher, which uses a new lib naming scheme, such as libapr-0.so.0.9.2, only if apr-config and apu-config scripts exist. [Stas Bekman]
