Essentially "everywhere" should include all possible * httpds across all servers at a particular "site". We make some assumptions * that if the site has a cluster of machines then their time is relatively * synchronized. We also assume that the first address returned by a * gethostbyname (gethostname()) is unique across all the machines at the * "site". * * We also further assume that pids fit in 32-bits. If something uses more * than 32-bits, the fix is trivial, but it requires the unrolled uuencoding * loop to be extended. * A similar fix is needed to support multithreaded * servers, using a pid/tid combo. * * Together, the in_addr and pid are assumed to absolutely uniquely identify * this one child from all other currently running children on all servers * (including this physical server if it is running multiple httpds) from each * other. * * The stamp and counter are used to distinguish all hits for a particular * (in_addr,pid) pair. The stamp is updated using r->request_time, * saving cpu cycles. The counter is never reset, and is used to permit up to * 64k requests in a single second by a single child. * * The 112-bits of unique_id_rec are encoded using the alphabet * [A-Za-z0-9@-], resulting in 19 bytes of printable characters. That is then * stuffed into the environment variable UNIQUE_ID so that it is available to * other modules. The alphabet choice differs from normal base64 encoding * [A-Za-z0-9+/] because + and / are special characters in URLs and we want to * make it easy to use UNIQUE_ID in URLs. * * Note that UNIQUE_ID should be considered an opaque token by other * applications. No attempt should be made to dissect its internal components. * It is an abstraction that may change in the future as the needs of this * module change. * * It is highly desirable that identifiers exist for "eternity". But future * needs (such as much faster webservers, moving to 64-bit pids, or moving to a * multithreaded server) may dictate a need to change the contents of * unique_id_rec. Such a future implementation should ensure that the first * field is still a time_t stamp. By doing that, it is possible for a site to * have a "flag second" in which they stop all of their old-format servers, * wait one entire second, and then start all of their new-servers. This * procedure will ensure that the new space of identifiers is completely unique * from the old space. (Since the first four unencoded bytes always differ.) */ /* * Sun Jun 7 05:43:49 CEST 1998 -- Alvaro * More comments: * 1) The UUencoding prodecure is now done in a general way, avoiding the problems * with sizes and paddings that can arise depending on the architecture. Now the * offsets and sizes of the elements of the unique_id_rec structure are calculated * in unique_id_global_init; and then used to duplicate the structure without the * paddings that might exist. The multithreaded server fix should be now very easy: * just add a new "tid" field to the unique_id_rec structure, and increase by one * UNIQUE_ID_REC_MAX. * 2) unique_id_rec.stamp has been changed from "time_t" to "unsigned int", because * its size is 64bits on some platforms (linux/alpha), and this caused problems with * htonl/ntohl. Well, this shouldn't be a problem till year 2106. */ static unsigned global_in_addr; static unique_id_rec cur_unique_id; /* * Number of elements in the structure unique_id_rec. */ #define UNIQUE_ID_REC_MAX 5 static unsigned short unique_id_rec_offset[UNIQUE_ID_REC_MAX], unique_id_rec_size[UNIQUE_ID_REC_MAX], unique_id_rec_total_size, unique_id_rec_size_uu; static int unique_id_global_init(apr_pool_t *p, apr_pool_t *plog, apr_pool_t *ptemp, server_rec *main_server) { char str[APRMAXHOSTLEN + 1]; apr_status_t rv; char *ipaddrstr; apr_sockaddr_t *sockaddr; /* * Calculate the sizes and offsets in cur_unique_id. */ unique_id_rec_offset[0] = APR_OFFSETOF(unique_id_rec, stamp); unique_id_rec_size[0] = sizeof(cur_unique_id.stamp); unique_id_rec_offset[1] = APR_OFFSETOF(unique_id_rec, in_addr); unique_id_rec_size[1] = sizeof(cur_unique_id.in_addr); unique_id_rec_offset[2] = APR_OFFSETOF(unique_id_rec, pid); unique_id_rec_size[2] = sizeof(cur_unique_id.pid); unique_id_rec_offset[3] = APR_OFFSETOF(unique_id_rec, counter); unique_id_rec_size[3] = sizeof(cur_unique_id.counter); unique_id_rec_offset[4] = APR_OFFSETOF(unique_id_rec, thread_index); unique_id_rec_size[4] = sizeof(cur_unique_id.thread_index); unique_id_rec_total_size = unique_id_rec_size[0] + unique_id_rec_size[1] + unique_id_rec_size[2] + unique_id_rec_size[3] + unique_id_rec_size[4]; /* * Calculate the size of the structure when encoded. */ unique_id_rec_size_uu = (unique_id_rec_total_size*8+5)/6; /* * Now get the global in_addr.
