My issue came down to asking repeatedly, and recieving one request on
[EMAIL PROTECTED] to date. To which I again asked for any willing to verify
Apache 1.3 win32/binary releases to subscribe and speak up on [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Guess what? No voulenteers :) So considering Apache is a voulenteer effort,
I take that as a sign of no interest.
I'll pull down 1.3.x as no longer actively supported from Win32, but don't
expect the same by any other platform. Obviously on Unix, 1.3 remains a
very good solution. Since Netware is closer to Unix than OS2/Win32, I'm
not surprised by your feedback.
In the process, with all the various vulnerabilities and bug fixes, if a
platform maintainer hasn't updated 1.3 or 2.0 in *a year*, I'll pull those
down as well (leaving them over on archive.apache.org.)
Comments/Feedback before I proceed?
In the perl world (cgi scripts and mod_perl), I've had
in the past year a few people ask me things about using
Apache/1.3; it's sometimes a matter of not being able to
migrate to Apache/2.0, or, more often, they use Win32
as a development machine for a Unix 1.3 system (one
user was using it, and mod_perl, on Windows 95!)
Although the Win32 1.3 user base is obviously shrinking,
it seems there are still some users out there - would the
downloads recorded in the access_logs be useful to give
a rough idea of the relative proportion of 1.3 users
compared to 2.0? In any case, since it's already made
up, and also because there's a longer period between
releases, it seems a shame to not release it - if it
helps any, I tested out the .msi version, and it
installed and ran fine.
