Request for submission of the OpenVMS code changes into the 1.3 c ode stream

["D'Antoni, Gaitan" <Ga...@Compaq.Com>]

The Compaq OpenVMS Apache Engineering team has recently completed the port
of version 1.3.12 of the Apache HTTP server to OpenVMS. Compaq has selected
the Apache HTTP server to be the supported web server for OpenVMS Alpha. We
would like to submit our changes to be incorporated into the V1.3 code
stream. I realize there are quite a few changes here so I'm willing to do
whatever makes the submission easier for the ASF.

Scope of the VMS changes:
Apache source files changed: 21
http_main.c contains about 400 new lines of code
alloc.c and http_request.c contain about 100 lines of new code
the remaining 18 files average about 25 lines of new code each
All of the changes are surrounded by #ifdef VMS ... #endif
The OpenVMS specific directory [apache.src.os.openvms] contains
approximately 50 files.

I used diff -C3 to create .diff files of all of the changes. The .diff
files, along with the original and modified files
are available in a compressed, tar file named vmssubmit.Z. The file is
available via anonymous ftp from www.openvms.compaq.com in directory
pub:[apache]
ftp www.openvms.compaq.com
Username: anonymous
Password: email address
ftp> cd pub:[apache]
ftp> binary
ftp> get vmssubmit.Z

I'm finishing up the [apache.src.os.openvms] files and should have them
posted by tomorrow.

Thank you for your consideration.

I would like to STRONGLY SUGGEST that your team look at porting Apache
2.0 to VMS soon.  Apache 2.0 can be ported much more cleanly to
non-Unix platforms.  NOW (if not sooner) is the time in the 2.0
life-cycle to see how 2.0 abstractions should be implemented on
OpenVMS.

Two heads up...

 1) for any patch -u3 is preferable to -c3

 2) cvs is the -simplest- way to diff the group.  Anon CVS access
    is available... see dev.apache.org for current details.  The
    cvs diff will provide a thorough list of these change.
