Module authors need to be aware of these + changes so they may take advantage of the optimizations and + security enhancements.</p> + + <p>The first major change is to the subrequest and redirect + mechanisms. There were a number of different code paths in + Apache 1.3 to attempt to optimize subrequest or redirect + behavior. As patches were introduced to 2.0, these + optimizations (and the server behavior) were quickly broken due + to this duplication of code. All duplicate code has been folded + back into <code>ap_process_request_internal()</code> to prevent + the code from falling out of sync again.</p> + + <p>This means that much of the existing code was 'unoptimized'. + It is the Apache HTTP Project's first goal to create a robust + and correct implementation of the HTTP server RFC. Additional + goals include security, scalability and optimization. New + methods were sought to optimize the server (beyond the + performance of Apache 1.3) without introducing fragile or + insecure code.</p> +</div> +<div id="quickview"><ul id="toc"><li><img alt="" src="../images/down.gif" /> <a href="#processing">The Request Processing Cycle</a></li> +<li><img alt="" src="../images/down.gif" /> <a href="#parsing">The Request Parsing Phase</a></li> +<li><img alt="" src="../images/down.gif" /> <a href="#security">The Security Phase</a></li> +<li><img alt="" src="../images/down.gif" /> <a href="#preparation">The Preparation Phase</a></li> +<li><img alt="" src="../images/down.gif" /> <a href="#handler">The Handler Phase</a></li> +</ul></div> +<div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div> +<div class="section"> +<h2><a name="processing" id="processing">The Request Processing Cycle</a></h2> + <p>All requests pass through <code>ap_process_request_internal()</code> + in <code>request.c</code>, including subrequests and redirects.

The module has no further + control of this one-time unescape operation, either failing to + unescape or multiply unescaping the URL leads to security + reprecussions.</p> + + + <h3><a name="strip" id="strip">Strips Parent and This Elements from the + URI</a></h3> + <p>All <code>/../</code> and <code>/./</code> elements are + removed by <code>ap_getparents()</code>. This helps to ensure + the path is (nearly) absolute before the request processing + continues.</p> + + <p>This step cannot be bypassed.</p> + + + <h3><a name="inital-location-walk" id="inital-location-walk">Initial URI Location Walk</a></h3> + <p>Every request is subject to an + <code>ap_location_walk()</code> call. This ensures that + <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#location"><Location></a></code> sections + are consistently enforced for all requests. If the request is an internal + redirect or a sub-request, it may borrow some or all of the processing + from the previous or parent request's ap_location_walk, so this step + is generally very efficient after processing the main request.</p> + + + <h3><a name="translate_name" id="translate_name">translate_name</a></h3> + <p>Modules can determine the file name, or alter the given URI + in this step. For example, <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_vhost_alias.html">mod_vhost_alias</a></code> will + translate the URI's path into the configured virtual host, + <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_alias.html">mod_alias</a></code> will translate the path to an alias path, + and if the request falls back on the core, the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#documentroot">DocumentRoot</a></code> is prepended to the request resource.</p> + + <p>If all modules <code>DECLINE</code> this phase, an error 500 is + returned to the browser, and a "couldn't translate name" error is logged + automatically.</p> + + + <h3><a name="map_to_storage" id="map_to_storage">Hook: map_to_storage</a></h3> + <p>After the file or correct URI was determined, the + appropriate per-dir configurations are merged together. For + example, <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy.html">mod_proxy</a></code> compares and merges the appropriate + <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy.html#proxy"><Proxy></a></code> sections. + If the URI is nothing more than a local (non-proxy) <code>TRACE</code> + request, the core handles the request and returns <code>DONE</code>. + If no module answers this hook with <code>OK</code> or <code>DONE</code>, + the core will run the request filename against the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#directory"><Directory></a></code> and <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#files"><Files></a></code> sections. If the request + 'filename' isn't an absolute, legal filename, a note is set for + later termination.</p> + + + <h3><a name="location-walk" id="location-walk">URI Location Walk</a></h3> + <p>Every request is hardened by a second + <code>ap_location_walk()</code> call. This reassures that a + translated request is still subjected to the configured + <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#location"><Location></a></code> sections. + The request again borrows some or all of the processing from its previous + <code>location_walk</code> above, so this step is almost always very + efficient unless the translated URI mapped to a substantially different + path or Virtual Host.</p> + + + <h3><a name="header_parser" id="header_parser">Hook: header_parser</a></h3> + <p>The main request then parses the client's headers.
