Hi,
I am very interested in the following topics since I think I have the
same problems. Are you able to explain me a little what was wrong with
Win32 and what was the fix or workaround. Maybe I can find directly the
answer in the apache code ?

Thanks in advance.
I am using apache for our intranet on an Alpha server and it works very
well. No problem at all. Good work !
Laurent.

The second is worked around in buff.c (sendwithtimeout()?), and the
first fixed in util_script.c (I think).
