+1 for this, too. It has the magick words "NCSA-compatible".

+1 for this. I'm not convinced it's as necessary in today's world as
John thinks, but defined with the current buffer size as default, it
does not hurt.

+1. So did I.
> 3) Mod_expires should use "Cache-Control".
>
4) Mod_proxy stuff, see mod_proxy.h. Not everything is needed for 1.2
release, and even less for beta, but there are things to be done.
The proxy_cache definitely needs to be made BAD_DATE-aware.

+1.

WARNING: The fixed length, unchecked input form data set buffer in
mod_info is a potential security/reliability problem; it should be
fixed before 1.2 release. It's 64 bytes long now, I believe.
> 4) fix the timeout mechanisms so that reads and responses don't

+1.
> 5) Allow the error_log to use pipes, as acess_log does? There are
> some odd patches in http://dev.apache.org/incoming related to that.
>
> 6) mod_imap should use pools instead of static buffers.
>
> 7) mod_include shouldn't use rputc, it's slow.
>
8) There are still a couple of proxy bugfixes to fold in before release.

Anything without a +1 is a 0 from me.
