I'm now somewhat confused (I guess doing 4 hour technical meetings on a
Saturday with an upset stomach is partially to blame :-).
The story so far: the code was subtracting WSABASEERR from
WSAGetLastError(). This was bollocks. The "error 35" turns out to be
WSAEWOULDBLOCK (10035), once that is fixed. This comes from
sendwithtimeout(), which I revised slightly to correctly report an error
from select(). I sent this to my guinea-pig, who reports that he got an
error 10035 once (client connection lost, i.e. in send_fd()), and from
then on it has worked.
I'm bemused. However, I'll commit the changes I made coz they are needed
anyway.
Cheers,
Ben.

Ugly, but people have always asked for this, so why not. +1.

+1, but I'm not sure that the _Explain stuff is necessary at all. Can't
the _two_ Explain() calls in the code be replaced by aplog() or
individually #ifdef'ed if they are that important?

+1. On the MIME stuff: the sending mailer has labelled them OCTET-STREAM
though, so even Pine doesn't display the attachments correctly. They
should probably be labeled as TEXT/PLAIN instead. But at least pine can
save'em out ok.

+1 _if_ it still defined -DLYNXOS like all other OSes, rather than relying
on a compiler-provided __Lynx__ constant.

I like NameVirtualHost. It is no less hassle for upgrading users than the
renaming of the default apache directory. Can a perl script read a given
configure and determine what NameVirtualHost lines are needed, as a
transistion aid?
+1 on the new vhost docs stuff, by the way.
