Hi!
I found that <Limit GET> and </Limit> are missing
in the new apache 1.1.1 distribution which caused
my .htaccess file not to work at the beginning!
I simply of course added the lines; I thoough, however,
it may take other people long time to figure out what's
going on!! I downloaded the .tar.gz file.
Thanks again for a great server!

Hi - before releasing 1.1 we realised that the distributed access.conf
file was a tad confusing with respect to what did what - in particular,
use of the <Limit> directive was unclear in that a <Limit GET> did *not*
protect against POST, HEAD, PUT, or other types of methods in that
directory. By removing the <Limit> directives we were basically saying
<Limit *>... so I'm confused as to why you claim you need those lines, and
*particularly* confused as to why you would need them for .htaccess files
to work.
