tomcat 3.1 final patches

[GOMEZ Henri <hg...@slib.fr>]

Hi,

Could someone provide a patch file for tomcat 3.1 final which
contain bugs correctives.

Not all users 3.1 could run pre 3.2 release (especially night builds).

Many thanks ;-)

One of the things that it seems like I've noticed is that we had a server
that was used for development purposes that had 3.1 of Tomcat installed. A
week or so later we downloaded 3.1 again from the site when we were
installing it on the production servers, and it was a slightly different
build or something because things on the development server wouldn't work on
production. Several of us went over the configuration files and whatnot and
couldn't find a problem. Finally, we copied over the /lib directory and
still didn't have any luck with it. A day or two later, I copied both the
lib and bin directories off the development server over to the production
machine and suddenly the things that weren't working started working.

I really feel the tomcat team should consider release numbering similar to
linux kernels where they have a <major>.<minor>.<release> versioning number
rather than just <major>.<minor>. Then they could have nightly builds and
fixes that are more clearly demarked so that people don't have the problems
that I had.

Also, I have a few other suggestions if anyone is interested (If not, just
stop reading here)

I was unable to find a way to get Tomcat to tell me what version it is with
a command line option like -v.

It would be nice to have Tomcat able to run as a non-root user when started
as root similar to apache, especially considering it's a webserver like
apache when running stand alone, at least then it could bind to port 80 and
not be a huge security hole. (have there been any exploits to the Tomcat
product in stand alone or other mode?)

It would be nice to see the option functional to bind to a specific IP
address when it's run (the option is there but currently only port mapping
seems to work).

At any rate, it's a great product so far and I see a lot of good changes on
the way. Keep up the good work Tomcat Team! It's appreciated.
