If it may assure you... The comments of my patch just describe the behavior I saw. There may be better appropriate language for it. I have test cases that show how location walk wasn't working anymore and how the patch fixes it. I've just sent one such message to the list. I think that best thing would be for you to try the patch and test out the scenarios you think it will break down and report back to the list if that is the case? Or point out places in the code that will be at risk? For the record, the W3C production web servers are using this patch since some time ago and we haven't experienced any i weird behavior. Of course, this doesn't exclude problems with server configuration options that we don't use. Cheers, -jose
