Re: mod_blanks for apache 2

[johannes m. richter]

Anyway,any suggestion on some modules for apache 2.x
that filter the output (I need to modify the html).


Perhaps you can use mod_injection as a good starting point.

And, last thing, the whole collection of mail of this
list, whereis it?


On http://httpd.apache.org/lists.html some sites are mentioned.

Good luck!

RE: distributing encryption software

[johannes m. richter]

Please tell me if I'm missing something here: when I tried to volunteer to
give apache binaries for HP-UX (around 6 - 8 months ago), I got back a
response that only the "committers" can produce the binaries.


As far as I know and understand only committers can put them in the 
"official" binary directory. And the committers only take binaries they 
made themselves - for security/trust reasons.
But of course everyone is free to produce binaries and put them on some web 
page, perhaps they get in some contrib directory on the apache server too 
and perhaps you get a nice link from some page - but those aren't "official 
binaries" then.

Correct me if i'm wrong..

Re: distributing encryption software

[johannes m. richter]

Sorry for splitting my answer up :o


Well, I don't think that you need $$$, the only thing you really need is
hardware (for the builds), bandwidth (for downloads) and time (to build)...


SourceForge has a compile farm too. So I guess one would have to create a 
project "apachessl_binaries" or something like this and ask for compile 
farm access (which does not have to be granted, specially since Apache 
itself is not hosted on sf - see 
http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=762&group_id=1)
Or you could ask IBM/Sun/HP directly - "There are people using your 
products which would like this (so do it!)" ;-)

I don't know about hardware and time (unfortunately I am too dumb to 
compile those things) - but I guess there're some people with bandwidth out 
there. One server which always comes to my mind is http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/ 
, a server of the TU Wien (technical university of Vienna) which already 
mirrors many projects (mainly free software). I bet Antonin Sprinzl (the 
server's admin) would add those things to the server (he's always keen on 
new suggestions..)

Just an idea :)

Re: Auth: Start the httpd-2.1 branch finally?

As a user I'll try to help achiving this goal ;)

About the specific issue: I (again as a user) like the idea of at least 
putting the old auth modules in the coming 2.0 releases, so that 
compatibility between the minor releases - which certainly is important for 
adoption - is not broken and a smoother transistion to the newer - and 
probably better - auth module design gets possible.
On the other hand I am just a little user so I don't really know what 
disadvantages this may have (except that people stay with the old auth 
modules forever;)

just my 2€cents :-)

You might disable the POST method for the cgi directory with Limit. Should

Since this seems to be rather understandable - will you make the source for

Cool. :) Sounds like it will get a hell easier getting this thing working..

This is how I understood Ian's suggestion. That PHP asks its extensions 
whether they're thread-safe or not. And PHP itself tells Apache whether it 
- as a whole, i.e. including its extensions - is thread safe.

this is what i really like about the apache group. it's just cool, they 
know that they have users, that they should support users in some way and 
not just dump their products out on the net. one can feel that they want 
their things to be used.

Yes because if it wasn't it would be unable to bind to port 80. (on usual 
Unix system; there's patches for some systems out there where you dont have 
to be root to bind to low port, but they aren't very common [yet?])

True. But this problem could be solved by appending the version number to 
the filename. httpd-std-2.0.36.conf and so on. So you'd get a nice 
collection of various standard conf files in your 
examples/templates/whatever directory.

(then we'd only need +VersionSort for our favorite file manager;-)

why not copy them somewhere in the documentation directory? People seem to 
want their conf-directories to be really "clean" - which is can understand. 
But i also understand it might be useful to have a current default 
configuration file around. IMHO the documentation dir 
SERVERROOT/manual/conf/ perhaps?) would be a good place for this.
