Subject: WWW Form Bug Report: "Hard-coded 150 connection limit not documented " on FreeBSD

Submitter: marcs@worldgate.com
Operating system: FreeBSD, version: 2.1.5
Version of Apache Used: 1.1.1
Extra Modules used: 
URL exhibiting problem: 

Symptoms:
--
The hard-coded limit of 150 connections defined
in the HARD_SERVER_LIMIT in httpd.h and used
in http_core.c is not documented anywhere I could
find.  If you define MaxClients to something
over 150 in your config file, it just silently
uses 150.  I have no problems with a default 
limit or having to recompile to change it,
but please make apache whine then use
HARD_SERVER_LIMIT instead of just using it without
whining.

While anyone running a web server with that many
connections should be able to fix this themself
easily enough, you have to know it is there.  It
took us a couple of days to start wondering why
we were seeing exactly 150 connections a lot of
the time.
