The Apache server is getting pounded by web pages that use viewcvs to
display a page, such as this:
https://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/db/derby/code/trunk/BUILDING.txt
ViewCVS is great for browsing the history of files, but it's too heavy
weight for just serving up a file like we're doing. I updated Derby URLs
to use this syntax instead:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/db/derby/code/trunk/BUILDING.txt
Note there is a problem with two pages that end up displaying html
source in non-Internet Explorer browsers instead of the formatted page.
I encountered the problem on Firefox 1.0.2 on fedora core 3 and Mozilla
1.7.3 on Windows XP with these two links:
(1) http://db.apache.org/derby/derby_downloads.html links to
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/db/derby/code/trunk/java/testing/README.htm
(2) http://db.apache.org/derby/papers/index.html links to
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/db/derby/code/trunk/java/engine/org/apache/derby/iapi/types/package.html
It works if you save those pages to a file, then open the file locally.
I added work-around notes on derby_downloads.html and papers/index.html
on how to display those pages.
This change is committed in revision 239714 and the changes should
propagate to the web site in a couple hours or so.
