Greg Ames and myself and a few other people (who never show up on the mailing lists but instead contact Greg or myself directly) use it at least some. Proxy and mod_ssl work well enough to fool me. There are probably charset glitches here and there that haven't proved to be an aggravation in the current limited use (where's Martin when you need him :) ). Those docs on EBCDIC seem to be mostly comprised of a technical report on how and why Apache 1.3 was ported to the Siemens mainframe. The technical aspects are not accurate for Apache 2.0. There probably does need to be an EBCDIC section describing minor issues with the core code and with standard modules (e.g., SSI files need to be in the native character set so that mod_include can parse them*). But much of the stuff that the user has to be concerned with is deferred to mod_charset_lite, which already has documentation on how to configure any necessary recoding for request and response bodies. *an unfortunate limitation of the configuration mechanism for mod_charset_lite prevents its filter from first being used to recode to the native charset for use by mod_include and then recode what is sent to the client to a suitable charset... not many lines of code to fix, but it hasn't bubbled to the top of the list yet :) -- Jeff Trawick | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Born in Roswell... married an alien...
