Bug Being marked RESOLVED and FIXED when it's not...

[Nate Rock <nr...@infinitecampus.com>]

What does one do when a bug is closed as "RESLOVED" and "FIXED" when
it's not actually fixed? The bug has a proposed code fix and an
attachment which has code demonstrating the bug. Since the author
"really doesn't care about this issue" how can I see about getting it
resolved?

http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=37673

I belive it's been closed because I initially pasted in some code that I
was working on to try and resolve the issue instead of the original
source and didn't know how to change my original post... sorry Remy, my
bad =(

I am trying to give back to the apache community, but thus far it has
been frustrating. I realize I made some "n00bish" mistakes and am
willing to work with the apache dev team in whatever way they deem
appropriate.

Thanks for your attention!

Nate,

Bugs are marked as FIXED when a fix has been committed to the source
code repository.  You can see the fix browsing http://svn.apache.org. 
If you're not sure how to navigate that structure, start at
http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/tomcat/connectors/trunk/http11/src/java/org/apache/coyote/http11/
and click on the relevant files.  You can see code diffs there as
well.

This is different from marking issues as FIXED when a release comes
out: both approaches have their pros and cons.  We use the former for
many reasons, and prefer to stay that away.

If a bug is marked as FIXED but you can't find a relevant commit, you
do what you did (albeit in a nicer tone if possible ;)) and ask on the
dev@tomcat.apache.org mailing list.
