os-windows/2238: The "Last Modified" link on an autoindex causes an "Application Error" (fwd)
I would suggest that this is a showstopper for Win32; at the very least,
making it not crash the server...

>Description:
I have a virtual host www.example.com, with a UNC DirectoryRoot
(//machine/share). If I click on the "Last Modified" link on a directory
listing, I get an Application Error. Here is part of the backtrace:
_expandtime()
_Strftime()
strftime()
strftime() is receiving NULL as the fourth argument (the const struct tm *
argument). As I'm having problems with creating a workspace for Apache, I'm
not sure what calls strftime().
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
I think the problem is with the way UNC paths are being handled. When I changed
the DirecotryRoot to C:\somedir, the "Last Modified" link worked fine.

Yeah I already fixed this in apache-nspr.

Who wrote that stuff? I mean, convert a date into a string so you can
sort it? WTF? Worse yet, store strings in four different places just so
you have to carefully pick them out when you do sort them. Anyway I
don't have the energy to make it sensible, so I'll just fix the bug for
now.
Cheers,
Ben.
