So, to put it in other words... WebMacro will continue to be the "Evolution"
of an ~Apache~ HTML template-ing engine with the intent that the Velocity
"Revolution" will eventually take over when it is ready (again, with the
intent that this transition from WM to Velocity will become a natural
process
from the stand point that the innovations that Velocity will provide, will
make it a better choice over WM.)

As a side note to Jon and the ASF, maybe the e-mail thread about the
"Evolution Vs. Revolution" that went on during the development Tomcat should
be made easily available from the Jakarta Web Page. What would real be cool
is if we colud get Eric Raymond
<http://www.tuxedo.org/%7Eesr/writings/cathedral-bazaar/index.html> to write
about the concept of
"Evolution Vs. Revolution" in like a 2nd Edition of "The Cathedral and the
Bazaar" to put a positive spin on forking or at least that forking does not
have to be a negative thing in Open-Source development.

Re: Tomcat 3.2 beta 2 makes me authenticate twice

[Johan Peeters <jo...@alcatel.be>]

Are you using basic authentication?

If so, I think the behavior is correct: it is the browser that decides
whether it needs to include its user's credentials. The browser does not
know that localhost and myhostname happen to be the same server.

Hope this helps,

Yo

Tomcat 3.2 beta 2 makes me authenticate twice

[Willie Wheeler <ww...@andrew.cmu.edu>]

Hi all,

	I'm noticing a funny behavior, and I'm not sure whether it is
intended or it is a bug.  Anyway, say I'm running a webapp on localhost,
and I authenticate myself to localhost:8080/mywebapp.  Then I decide to
point my browser at myhostname:8080/mywebapp.  Tomcat makes me
authenticate again!  Is this behavior correct?
