[Rob Hartill <ro...@imdb.com>]

Can someone please take a look. Preferably someone who's done work on
the status module.

Subject: WWW Form Bug Report: "broken "SS" field when using status module" on BSDI

Submitter: digioia@ais.net
Operating system: BSDI, version: 2.1
Version of Apache Used: 1.1.1
Extra Modules used: config_log, status, info, auth_dbm
URL exhibiting problem: www.bluemountain.com/status

Symptoms:
--
If you save the status web page to a TXT file, you will see there is actually
NO value for the "SS" field.

Instead, the html formatting, or CGI, or something (I did not investigate it
further) is chopping off everything after the first few digits (X.XX) of the
"CPU" field, and using them as the SS field.

BTW, I am using Netscape 3.01 on Solaris 2.51 to view it.

Of course, this is confusing, as it looks like some connections are kept open 
for thousands of seconds.

For some reason, it seems to get worse as time goes on; the number of trailing 
digits in CPU becomes greater.  It is currently reset, since I
had to add apache.org to access.conf to give you access.  The number of digits 
should grow to what I was seeing within 3-4 days, if that makes any difference 
to you.

Thanks for making the best web server in the world!

Thanks for the note.  I take it you mean, when Netscape converts the HTML of
the status page to flat text, the tabular data becomes difficult to read
because there aren't spaces between the columns.  That would be difficult for
us to fix - I tried some simple add-a-space-here tricks which didn't affect the
look of the status page, but none of them ended up adding space to the
converted-to-text version unfortunately.  If you were to do

  http://www.bluemountain.com/status?notables

you'll get an output which has all the same information, but not in a table,
which may make your life easier.  Of course if Netscape really treated tables
of information like tables of information, and let you save those tables as
tab-delineated text, all would be fine.  :)
