Gentle reminder of outstanding contributed patches

Hi folks,

Per the patch submission suggestion # 1:

[[
  Be persistent but polite. Post to the developers list pointing out
  your patch and why you feel it is important. Feel free to do this
  about once a week and continue until you get a response. Just be sure
  to be polite about it, since the developers are unlikely to respond to
  rude messages.
]]

Here's a gentle reminder and summary of myoutstanding (as in
non-committed) patches (bug fixes, test procedures) that I've
submitted over the last couple of months.

If it may be easier for you, I published a page giving the status
and links to all of these patches on the apache bugzilla server:. 

  http://www.w3.org/2007/10/osc 

As always, feel free to ask any question or send feedback.

N.B. We have applied all of these patches to our production servers,
which are now 2.2.8. All of these patches were still needed.
I only had to change one to work against 2.2.8. The rest of the
patches work without changes on 2.2.8.

If it may be easier for you, I published a page giving links
to all of these patches inside bugzilla.

  http://www.w3.org/2007/10/osc

Best regards,

I'm testing now... trying to isolate the codepaths that would
be affected and then creating tests that would trigger them...

Note, of course, that trunk already is doing this, btw.

PLEASE HELP ME UNSUBSCRIBE

I still fear that it will break file based subrequest as in (e.g.) 
mod_xsendfile or mod_cern_meta setups. I'm quite short of time though, so 
I'm not able to provide some tests here ATM. Sorry to be of no more help 
here right now. However, it should be said if someone else may get some 
round tuits...

I still fear that it will break file based subrequest as in (e.g.) 
mod_xsendfile or mod_cern_meta setups. I'm quite short of time though, so 
I'm not able to provide some tests here ATM. Sorry to be of no more help

Jose,

thank you for the gentle reminder. They really do work :)

I'll review the trunk patch and its test for <location > in subrequests,
and propose for backport, since this is all tied into several bug fixes
and new features I'm working on.  Location walking isn't easy, only a
small handful of us know that code path, so forgive us for moving slowly.
