Bug ID: 58309
Summary: Update PCRE bundled under ISAPI Redirector
Product: Tomcat Connectors
Version: 1.2.41
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: isapi
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
The PCRE lib bundled in the native/iis/pcre directory is a very old 5.0 fork,
similar to what Apache httpd used for a long time.
It is not hard to update to 8.37, because we only need a few bits from the pcre
API which were mostly stable. Our Windows build files can also be adjusted
relatively simply to PCRE 8, because we only need the static PCRE lib. Although
PCRE supports cmake build, it seems more adequate to not demand downstream to
use cmake *just* to build the PCRE needed for the ISAPI redirector.
We might go further and switch to PCRE 10, but pushing for the latest 8 IMHO is
already a nice improvement making it much easier to stay in sync with future
PCRE 8 upstream releases.
