but it didn't stop me from making a good fist of it ;-) As a result, while I can get the whole thing to work, I don't have any good ideas on how to completely eliminate that funny C# class. Although I got the jagged array syntax correct it seems ;-) In essence, I am not a C/C++ programmer by trade, hobby, or whatever. [ virtual array<array<String ^>^> ^GetUnknownRequestHeaders(void) ]
Bravo! Seriously, you need not be a diehard programmer to make contributions(!) As far as committership, we have a whole subproject dedicated to the art of not programming ([EMAIL PROTECTED] ;-) from where there are many committers.
Some additional information regarding the port: 1) ASP.NET 1.x programs will *run* on it quite happily - Windows Server Update Services was in business a long time before .NET 2.0 made debut. You just can't coerce mod_aspdotnet to *bind* to 1.x Framework versions. It really may not make a difference in most scenarios, unless MS broke backward compatibility in a very obscure way (this of course is purely speculation, but reasonably likely given MS's wonderful track record for such things :-P).
Gotcha. Yes, it's the underlying clr we are talking about, not the versions of specific apps. Hopefully, with .NET 2.0 installed, these continue to run.
2) resolve_apache was untouched, but it requires fixing because it will not detect Apache 2.2 because it has apache.exe hardcoded as a string literal.
Unfortunately it's not that simple :( Compiled against the httpd-2.0 headers, we must still resolve apache.exe. Compiled against the httpd-2.2 headers, we can resolve httpd.exe. I'm working on a solution which would install either.
3) The installer project was upgraded to InstallShield 11.5, half by accident and half by intent. (Accident: forgot to remove the installer project from the solution - Intent: only 11.5 works with VS2005)
I'm tripping over these, ya.
Since I have nothing better to do over the next few days, I'll quickly fill in the CLA and send it off via fax. It doesn't mean I can receive faxes: there is no ink in the fax machine :-P
Sounds great :) I'll ack when I've seen it arrive. With your clue on the jaggy syntax, we have some hope of merging our work and having this ready for folks to pick up. Bill
