Subject: Net$cape is wondering why Apache beats them
I received the following mail from Netscape. I thought you would like
to know about. They look like they want to understand why Apache beats
them. I answered very honestly (I chose Apache because of it has
excellent performance, it includes the code source and it's free).
Congratulation for your excellent work! I am looking forward to the
stable 1.1 version...
Guillaume.

Where's the setuid module? I forget who wrote it (was it Randy?). I'd
like to take a look at it.

Intra-server redirections in .htaccess
Posted by Michael Smith <mj...@cursci.co.uk>.
I'd like to be able to have redirections in .htaccess files which
redirect within the server; e.g.
Redirect /here/flob.html /there/lob.html
without having to specify the http://.. bit. The reason I want to do
this is so I can use the same .htaccess files on different servers,,
without all the redirections going to the same server.
Is this possible? I know I can do it with ErrorDocument but this would
be a much preferred solution.
