Uhm, I have no real idea about those, but are they not integrated with the proxy framework? ajp? However, I always saw this Date header handling as a way to enforce RFC compliance (e.g. to overwrite Date-headers in mod_asis handlers and crappy backends). Wrong Date headers may have a huge impact, as I see it. But then, maybe I'm overrating that. nd -- s s^saaaaaoaaaoaaaaooooaaoaaaomaaaa a alataa aaoat a a a maoaa a laoata a oia a o a m a o alaoooat aaool aaoaa matooololaaatoto aaa o a o ms;s;\s;s;g;y;s;:;s;y#mailto: # \51/\134\137| http://www.perlig.de #;print;# > n...@perlig.de
