I'd like to calrify, my point

I have binary DSO modules from 3rd party companies. I have several
non-source Binary Apache versions from Sun, IBM, Stronghold and Oracle
deployed. Mod_blowchunks has closed the door while I get updates from my
vendors and test them with all the other software that Apache integrates
with. 

I might also add that I was on a tight schedule for another project. I would
not have been able to meet my schedule commitments and install/deploy/test
new Apache versions with my 3rd party DSO's. 

I will be upgrading ASAP. However, I find that I cannot migrate to Apache
2.0.x yet due to 3rd party dependencies. To make a long story short. We have
to stay on Apache 1.3.x until we can migrate to BEA Weblogic 6.1 or 7.x, but
to do so requires us to migrate our portal infrastructure from Weblogic
Commerce Server 3.2 to Weblogic portal 4.0. Due to numerous API changes by
BEA, this project turned into a re-coding of our portal. This project did
not get funded this year. 

I decided to notify the list, because I can't imagine that I'm the only one
with such constraints.

BlowChunks.pl took a day to implement, test and deploy onto 15 systems. I
implemented it as an include file so I can easily remove it. Now my company
is not exposed to what Chunking attacks are looming and I can complete the
current project and then begin the multiple week install/test/deploy cycle
of the updated Apache(s) without being vunerable.

So thanks again Cris!
David
