[PATCH] Re: httpd 1.3.19 + proxy

[Chuck Murcko <ch...@topsail.org>]

I've updated the proxy HTTP/1.1 patch at

http://dev.apache.org/dist/patches/apply_to_1.3.19/

to include Christian von Roques' persistent connection patch, and actually turn on HTTP/1.1 error responses for proxy requests. So the proxy can now claim to be 1.1, for 1.3.

All of the touches to core code are at the beginning of the patch, to make review easier. Thanks to Christian and Graham Leggett for the great work!
