That shouldn't be too hard to do.
I'll let you know when it's done. ;-)

THAT one was a real BITCH to figure-out.
(lost count of how many 'sleepless nights' it took to fix it)
But when I finally found the problem.....
This is how easy it was to fix it.
--- very near the top of wwwman.cpp ---
long lastseen; // last seen time
char postflag; // it is result of operation post
-- and this line near the middle ---
if(sizeof(struct HTTPrecord)==len)

//'postflag' is now 'dynamic' and moved to before 'lastseen'
char dynamic; // document is dynamic
// char postflag; // it is result of operation post
long lastseen; // last seen time
//!!glennmcc: end
//!!glennmcc: begin Apr 10, 2002
//must subtract 2 from 'len' to get the compatibility test to work
if(sizeof(struct HTTPrecord)==len-2)
//!!glennmcc: end

That's right... it was that simple.
Change 'postflag' to 'dynamic' and shift places so
that it comes before 'lastseen'.

Oh, you are most welcome.
And just in case you hadn't guessed.....
I LOVE doing this stuff. ;-)
BTW,
I hope you don't mind that this is being CCed to the lists.
Maybe we can 'kickstart' the rest of the members into doing some talking.
(or argueing, whichever the case may be)<g g g>
OK, come on now the rest of you 'C programmers' .......
Why did the lines need to be reversed to get it to work ????
(now they don't match the order over in the SRC code of core.exe)
And why do we need to subtract 2 for the test to work ????
(that does not match the length as written by core.exe)
'HTTPrecord / cacheitem' contains 11 "fields".
Core.exe writes them into cache.idx 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11
Wwwman.exe now reads them from cache.idx 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,11,10
Wwwman.exe now looks for a length of 2 bytes less than core.exe
used so that it can to test for 'version compatibility'.
Logic says that it can't work.... but it DOES work (perfectly).
Figure that one out. <g g g g>
