Hmmm... yes. Ok, I understand what you're saying. It still makes no difference to me. And no, I haven't been to http://sunsite.uio.no/pub/ lately... I tend to do my file transfers via FTP or rsync. I really dislike downloading files via HTTP. Anyways, this is a relatively useless discussion because I certainly am not going to change this behaviour in apache. If Jean-Michel thinks it is appropriate, he can make the change since he's the maintainer, but I hope he doesn't. You're entitled to your opinion... I'm entitled to mine.
