	<19...@deejai.mch.sni.de>
	<19...@deejai.mch.sni.de>
	Status: Martin +1, Ken +1

In progress:

    * Martin Kraemer's [PATCH] Parsing URI into its components 
	This has "evolved" into a new module: util_uri. Martin
	will post when it's at a state where he's happy with it.

Needs patch:

Closed issues:

    * Removal of inetd mode
	Ken says he'll try to maintain it, since there are
	people/places who need it

Open issues:

    * Ken suggests that new check_cmd_context() and related defines
	should be non-static and in util_* so modules can use 'em.  (He
	didn't notice this flaw during the review.)

    * Sameer's mod_so implemetation
	See <19...@gabber.c2.net>
	Issues: Underscores: Should I try prepending, appending, and
	 ignoring? -> Alexei says look at Java
	 Location? os/unix ??

    * 206 vs. 200 issue on Content-Length
	See <Pi...@valis.worldgate.com>

    * Conditional logging and aplogger
	Dean broke piped logging, -DNO_OTHER_CHILD to disable the reliable
	stuff if you depend on piped logging.  I figure nobody must, since
	we haven't seen a bug report and it'd show up easily under moderate
	load. Brian thinks Cond. logging is taking us in an opposite
	direction from where we should be going.

    * Brian's ``strange performance delays''
	<3....@hyperreal.org>
	mod_proxy and garbage collection?
	see: <19...@deejai.mch.sni.de>

    * Marc's socket options like source routing (kill them?)
	Marc, Dean, Martin say Yes

    * NameVirtualHost
	Causes mucho confusion... Dean is ready to ``admit defeat''
	but should we let him? Lars suggests making NameVirtualHost
	a required directive or at least an error message, since
	it will snag many who go from 1.2 to 1.3.

    * DDA's adding a tray application to the Windoze version for ease of
      status/management.
	<01...@caravan.individual.com>
	<01...@caravan.individual.com>
	Status: Ken +1, Sameer +1, Martin +1, Ben +1 (as long as
	we get a single executable)
	Paul: No like Win95 specific stuff

    * The PR#918 patch above appears to have been bogus, should be fixed or
	reversed.  It has been reversed for now.

    * Martin's SEGV, and Alexei's GP Fault under windows (probably the same)

    * Marc's [BUG] include virtual and SCRIPT_NAME w/path_info
	<Pi...@alive.znep.com>

I'm about to pick this up and give it a go. Can any of you comment
again on your position with this? Seems that it is relatively easy
to make the conditional (assuming loglevels) model work with an external
logging process.

After dealing with this recently, I don't understand why this is not
the default behavior.

This was committed to 1.3b3.

It's no longer broken ... it has a few warnings that seem harmless that
I'll work on removing.

I think we can remove this now... Lars' documentation should rectify the
situation I hope.  Although a few tweaks to the conf/httpd.conf-dist files
mentioning the docs are probably in order.

I think Martin said he isn't seeing the SEGV on his sysvr4 system, but is
seeing it on the mainframe, which probably means it's an arch specific bug.
Alexei, is your GP fault still happening?  I'm guessing no because we haven't
heard any bug reports from users...
