Patch (against trunk) for bug #41960

[Jose Kahan <jo...@w3.org>]

Hi folks,

Just a short messsage to tell you that I just uploaded
the patch against svn trunk that fixes this bug. Yes,
the patch is still needed as the bug is unfortunately
still around :-/.

Is there any hope of seeing this patch committed? Our 
internal production server has been working with it
since some months with no side effects. Earlier today
I contributed to this list some tests against your svn 
perl-framework that allows to reproduce the bug. This 
can be useful if you want to resolve this bug differently.

Feel free to contact me if you need further tests
or changes to the patch.

Best regards and thanks for all your hard work,

-jose

Fantasic :)

Cookies are good :)  Seriously, I'll look, the patch is very easy to
follow, the possible side effects aren't so trivial.  (I post this as
one recently bitten by such side-effects, heh.)

Yes - we have a limited number of voulenteer committers.  The best
thing to do is to ping the list once every month or so if you want
to champion your patch.  Eventually, someone's cycles will free up.

There's a reason for that exclusion originally and that has to be
reviewed before we jump on it, but in principal I'd agree to consider
that patch.

Hello,

Congratulations on the new release 2.2.6. 

Would there be any possiblity of applying (or reviewing) my
outstanding patch? request.c hasn't evolved since I did the
patch against trunk.

I had also submitted a new test procedure for the test suite.
It hasn't yet been commited, although it reproduces the faulty
behavior that my patch is intended to fix.

I don't know what else to do to  be able to submit a valid bug
report and potential patch to you: patch against trunk, new test
for the perl framework, ... chocolate-chip cookies? 

I may be missing something in the Apache procedure for submitting
this. I would have expected someone to point it out to me since I 
first submitted the bug report late March. 

Thanks,

-jose
