Hi Kirill,

Thanks again for adding the server detection for Apache! Btw., the 
functionality for the Tivoli servers (I checked 5.1, 5.2 and 6.0) works 
as well.

+1 for this one. Good idea.

Kirill, how about raising an issue at JIRA (issue type == "improvement", 
for instance)? You may just copy your suggestion into the description.

Thanks you in advance,
