[users@httpd] apache Content-Length header

[Anatoly Pugachev <ma...@rootshell.ru>]

Hi.
submitted a bug today and received resolution already.
you can see it on
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=36417
still having a simple question.
Is it really not acceptable to change filesize variable to unsigned long,
since filesize cannot be negative.
My question raised by distributing dvd iso images of linux, for example fc4 or
suse-9.3 is available on dvd, so apache 1.3.33 doesn't return this header and
1.3.29 version is reporting negative value for it.
Thanks in reply (if any)

At the time of Apache 1.3, 2Gb was a reasonable size for a hard disc,
and filesystems supporting larger files were exotic.  Feel free to patch it,
but the world has moved on in the years since 1.3 became obsolete.
