http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10128 1.3.26 (somebody updating bugzilla?): mod_proxy, no-cache and 304 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2002-06-21 16:13 ------- Thanks for your report, especially for the patch. I hope the code issue is resolved shortly. I'm really sorry about the hard feelings you have regarding Apache developers and the Apache development process, particularly with regard to problem reports. I suspect that you may have unrealistic expectations about how Apache is developed. We are all volunteers here, doing the best we can. It is frustrating to follow these bug reports, many of which are for build problems on machines that have screwy tool setups that we could never hope to duplicate. Still more are from people who never respond to requests to test patches or submit more information for diagnosis. And yet many PRs are resolved on a regular basis. I'm quite sure that the delay in handling your PR was due to a lack of appropriate knowledge among those people who volunteer to follow the PRs and attempt to help the user community through this channel. In many instances, the person encountering the problem knows much more about it than we humble souls following the PRs. In cases like this, the best way for the person encountering the problem to make progress is to discuss the issue on one of the mailing lists or newsgroups and try to find someone with the right skills to get involved. Alternatively, there are various companies and perhaps individuals who are willing to provide more tangible support for Apache or web servers based directly on Apache. In case it is important to you, part of what you get when you mail them the check is the ability to berate them until they fix whatever problem you are encountering. And as you have discovered, you are certainly empowered to work out a problem yourself without involving any third parties. No Apache developer would deny the fact that a great number of issues are resolved, with fixes contributed, by the end users themselves. The important "product" we produce, extending beyond a particular piece of downloadable software, is a framework for people to contribute towards its continual improvement. Such contributions are well- documented in the CHANGES files and are what makes Apache a reasonable solution for many people. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
