Hi,

Josh to my understood, upgrading to 1.3.26 won't eliminate
the failure. 
>From RHSA-2002:103-13 :
"Versions of the Apache Web server up to and including 1.3.24 contain a bug
in the routines which deal with requests encoded using "chunked" encoding."

Tell if i'm wrong...


So go on !!
I'll just apply the patch and see what i'll see.
If I had to rebuild, I'll report to the list.
Take care I'm kind of slow guy...

Thanks

I am going through an upgrade now of my apache web server
to 1.3.26 because of a recently announced remote exploit
that affects apache on unix servers.

What this means is that I have to rebuild my server from
scratch from the source like I did the first time.
If this is a minor apache upgrade, I would not fear any problems,
and "make install" from apache httpd will not overwrite your
configuration files, usually.  But its always good to make
a backup before you do an upgrade.  Its always good to make
backups period.  Things can always go wrong that you have to
recover from.

There will not be a patch if you are installing from the source.

Now, if you are using rpms to do your package management,
things may be different for you, but I have little
experience in this area.
