mailing list highlights
o mod_proxy will upgrade your (non-caching) request headers to
HTTP/1.0 if the request is HTTP/0.9 before passing the request
off. This can have unintended consequences if trying to use
Apache as a non-HTTP server. [9] [10]
o IE has the annoying habit of sometimes ignoring the Content-Type
header and applying a content type appropriate to the file
extension. For example, a .pdf file sent with the header
Content-Type: application/pdf but generated via /foo.pl may
be interpreted incorrectly. You can get around this by adding
the appropriate file extension as uri path info (eg foo.pl?.pdf)
of by using the header
Content-Disposition: inline; filename=foo.pdf [11]
o Beware of reply-to-all - you may expose your secrets :) [12]
o Some browsers support gzip encoding, even though they do not
send Accept-Encoding: gzip header. Some send the proper header,
but cannot process certain gzip'ed requests. Go figure [13]
o Folks are throwing around the idea of an Apache::WebDAV [14]
news
o Netcraft statistics are out for November [15]
Apache 5% IIS 20.16%
o Security Space November statistics [16]
Apache 57.99% IIS 28.08%
11.02% (150,158) of Apache servers are running mod_perl [17]
