I built 2.4.3 with the options
./configure \
--prefix=$tdir \
--with-apr=$adir \
--with-apr-util=$adir \
--without-ssl \
--without-crypto \
--disable-cache \
--without-distcache \
--enable-maintainer-mode
but then noticed in the error_log some garbage about
[Sat Aug 18 12:26:23.182875 2012] [ssl:warn] [pid 82399:tid 140735220779360]
AH01873: Init: Session Cache is not configured [hint: SSLSessionCache]
[Sat Aug 18 12:26:23.183039 2012] [lbmethod_heartbeat:notice] [pid 82399:tid
140735220779360] AH02282: No slotmem from mod_heartmonitor
which is undoubtedly because several modules are being built and loaded
that depend on certain options but do not get disabled by the lack
of those options in configure.
IMO, none of the following modules should be configured by default:
LoadModule file_cache_module modules/mod_file_cache.so
LoadModule dumpio_module modules/mod_dumpio.so
LoadModule firehose_module modules/mod_firehose.so
LoadModule buffer_module modules/mod_buffer.so
LoadModule unique_id_module modules/mod_unique_id.so
LoadModule remoteip_module modules/mod_remoteip.so
LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_connect_module modules/mod_proxy_connect.so
LoadModule proxy_ftp_module modules/mod_proxy_ftp.so
LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so
LoadModule proxy_fcgi_module modules/mod_proxy_fcgi.so
LoadModule proxy_scgi_module modules/mod_proxy_scgi.so
LoadModule proxy_ajp_module modules/mod_proxy_ajp.so
LoadModule proxy_balancer_module modules/mod_proxy_balancer.so
LoadModule proxy_express_module modules/mod_proxy_express.so
LoadModule session_module modules/mod_session.so
LoadModule session_cookie_module modules/mod_session_cookie.so
LoadModule session_dbd_module modules/mod_session_dbd.so
LoadModule slotmem_shm_module modules/mod_slotmem_shm.so
LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so
LoadModule lbmethod_byrequests_module modules/mod_lbmethod_byrequests.so
LoadModule lbmethod_bytraffic_module modules/mod_lbmethod_bytraffic.so
LoadModule lbmethod_bybusyness_module modules/mod_lbmethod_bybusyness.so
LoadModule lbmethod_heartbeat_module modules/mod_lbmethod_heartbeat.so
LoadModule dav_fs_module modules/mod_dav_fs.so
The vast majority of installations do not want a f*(^ing proxy.
Building them is fine -- these should be commented out in the
installed httpd.conf unless --with-proxy is enabled.
At the very least, modules dependent on SSL must not be loaded if
--without-ssl is the configure option.
I don't consider this a showstopper for 2.4.3, but I do think they
are bugs in trunk and 2.4.x.
