To simplify - Jeff Joe and I reviewed two of the patches, and they are committed. Two patches are available for comment;
http://people.apache.org/~wrowe/httpd-2.0-trace.patch http://people.apache.org/~wrowe/httpd-2.0-proxy-request.patch Although proxy-request.patch will evolve as this discussion continues; Jeff caused me to look, again, at the code and recognize another edge case already committed to trunk (and also in the patch.) proxy-request.patch will ultimately mirror what we agree to on trunk. And FYI, revert r219061 (below) from 2.1 or 2.0 to see the continued misbehavior of proxy without the proxy-request.patch.
