mailing list highlights

?arg1&arg2=val2 to improperly map when assigned to a hash [17]

of pseudo-hashes [18]

news
o Apache 1.3.17 was just released [21]. New features of note:
- Add a new LogFormat directive, %c, that will log connection
status at the end of the response as follows:
'X' - connection aborted before the response completed
'+' - connection may be kept-alive by the server
'-' - connection will be closed by the server
- Fix Content-Length calculation when doing Range header
processing. This makes PDF byteserving work again
- Make cgi-bin work as a regular directory when using
mod_vhost_alias with no VirtualScriptAlias directives
- Several mod_rewrite fixes, including variable look-ahead and
nested RewriteMap lookups
- More Windows and NetWare patches than you can shake a stick at
see Changes [22] for a full list of new features and bug fixes
FAQ of the week
o I'm trying to make mod_perl with Apache 1.3.14 (or later), but see
the error:
"Apache Version 1.3.0 required, aborting..."
Using mod_perl with Apache 1.3.14 or 1.3.17 requires an upgrade to
at least mod_perl 1.24_01 (or some hacking around). Get the latest
version from the mod_perl distribution page [23].
