------------------------ WWWOFFLE Announcement ------------------------ The new version of WWWOFFLE is now available (version 2.7a). This fixes the major bugs that have been discovered (configure script failure when IPv6 not available, conditional request replies at the wrong time and failure to request compressed data). It also fixes a number of other smaller bugs that were introduced in version 2.7 as well as some older bugs. The only new features are those that would be considered as bug fixes by some users. Bug Fixes: Ensure that the -put or -post options to wwwoffle have one URL. Fix IPv6 checking (configure fails if IPv6 not available). Fix conditional request problem (304 reply for non-conditional requests). Make the socket binding errors less confusing. Fix requesting of compressed data. Handle NULL strings in FTP code and parsing requests. Speed up wildcard matching of '/*' paths. When search script fails give an error not a blank page. The content-length header is not removed unless compression is being used. Fix core dump with configuration page adding first item to DontGet/DontCache section. Preserve cache file timestamps when compressing them. Handle relative URLs that start with '//'. Fix Solaris compilation problem with statfs/statvfs. Bug fix for failure to censor some headers. Remove the 'alt' attribute from disabled images when modifying HTML. New Features: Re-instate the old configuration editing web pages due to user demand. Allow wildcards to have more than two '*' in them. The upgrade-config.pl script warns about URL-SPECs with path='/' not '/*'.
