RE: svn commit: r791454 - in /httpd/httpd/branches/2.2.x: CHANGES STATUS server/core_filters.c

IMHO 39605 is fixed by the patches in 2.2.x as well.
So we should close it and add its number to the comment.
 
Regards

	One of the patches was for  https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39605, although that has a different symptom.  (See comment in http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=521681.)  39605 isn't marked complete or listed in CHANGES.  Perhaps this is because more fixes are needed to address that problem?
