R3.1M1RC1 - the good,the bad, and the ugly
The good:
Source and binaries for a "Release 3.1, Milestone 1, Release Candidate
1" have been posted to
http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/tomcat/release/v3.1_m1_rc1/. Despite
the amount of quasi-revolutionary work, the tests look to be in
amazingly good shape.
Everything was done from a fresh and complete checkout of everything.
My goal was to make the zips and tars match exactly, so what I settled
on was checking out the source on Windows, transporting the results to
Linux, removing the carriage returns from env.*, *.sh, and
jakarta-tomcat/src/native/apache/jserv/*.c files, and then building
everything using the IBM JDK 1.1.8 and producing the binaries on Linux.
I think that the results should be satisfactory everywhere - but don't
hesitate to yell if you see problems.
The bad:
There remain some failures in the tests. See below for details.
I'm only prepared at the moment to build binaries on Intel platforms.
The group I was just with had a Solaris, HPUX, AIX, and OS/390 machine.
Something to look into next time. Meanwhile, contributions of jserv
binaries for other platforms are welcome.
I need to track down everywhere version 3.0 is listed in the source and
update it.
I still need to go back and document the procedures, particularly while
they are fresh in my head.
The ugly:
This release nearly wasn't for several reasons, not the least of which
being the fact that I have yet to figure out how to either ftp into
locus from my machine, or ftp from my machine into my machine (using an
ISP, but with a dynamic IP address). I finally got the data there
I also hadn't expected to be downloading and compiling Apache for Win32,
and figuring out how to build
...and there were a number of false starts and dead ends on my part that
were too numerous to mention. And everything was done on via a modem
rated at 56K, but effectively limited to 26400 given my phone service.
(Uploads and downloads of everything totaled several hours.)

Test summary:
The tomcat tests pass on Win32 (JDK1.1.8 and JDK 1.2.2), but the following
fail on Linux for me:
FAIL tests.request.Get (Method GET Test) :
Test 1 : /request/uri/does/not/exist : 0.9 : 404
Test 11 : /index.ht ml : 1.0 : : 400
Test 12 : /index.ht ml : 1.0 : : 400
FAIL tests.request.Post (Method POST Test) :
Test 18 : http://www.javasoft.com/index.html : 1.0 : 400
The final failure seems to imply that a connection to the internet is
required to run the test, in which case, it is a false failure for me as
my Linux box does not happen to be connected at this time.
The jsp tests pass for me with the Sun JDK 1.2 on Windows or with the IBM
JDK 1.1.8 on Linux.
Note: these tests were passing for me within the last week.
Now I get failures on the following failures on JDK 1.1.8 on Windows:
positiveContenttype : FAIL -
positiveSetPropSingleQuotes : FAIL -
positiveSessionDefault : FAIL - FAIL
positiveErrorPage : FAIL -
positiveBuffAutoflush : FAIL - FAIL
positiveScriptletMultiline2 : FAIL -
implicitImportServlet : FAIL -
negativeSetPropNotProperty : FAIL - CODE_MISMATCH 500/404
negativeGetPropNotProperty : FAIL - CODE_MISMATCH 500/404
Win the Sun JDK 1.2 on Linux, things look good up to postiveGetVarName,
at which point I get
method unknown (eip = 3bc30833)
SIGSEGV 11* segmentation violation
si_signo [11]: SIGSEGV 11* segmentation violation
si_errno [0]: Success
si_code [0]: SI_USER [pid: 0, uid: 0]
stackpointer=0x445e7400
at which point, all other tests fail to connect.
The servlet tests fail on all combinations of platforms and JDKs:
addHeaderTest1 : FAIL -
"addHeader:Does addHeaderTest cr... : FAIL -
"Negative Test for getContext" : FAIL -

Yea, unfortunately, brian won't install it cause it has licensing issues
that he doesn't agree with. I understand his point though.

ssh2 comes with a sftp program.

I've completely forgotten where or when, but I'm sure I remember someone
recently mentioning exactly such a thing. OpenSSH maybe?
Or perhaps I dreamt it?
Cheers,

You can't ftp to locus, but you can use scp. man scp for more information.
It would be *so cool* if someone built a ftp style interface on top of scp.
