Hi all, I think the .htaccess file in the /dist/-directory might cause some trouble around the world. I got several reports today from users, eager to get their hands on the newly released 1.3.2, that they couldn't access <URL:http://apache.dc.luth.se/dist/>. The problem was that there were directives in the .htacces-file that my somewhat dated apache didn't grok. I have been in the process of stepping up to 1.3.2 and new releases of mysql and php the last couple of days. The problem went away, of course, when I completed the upgrade earlier today. However, I ran a quick scan of the different HTTP-mirrors listed at <URL:http://www.apache.org/mirrors/> and found that out of 84 mirrors only 29 (about a third) were able to give a listing of the dist-directory. Here's a list of the different apache-versions used at different places: <URL:http://www.luth.se/~goggi/proj/apache/mirror/versions.txt> I don't know if someone in the apache team would like to contact the mirror-administrators and explain wats need to be done or if this heads-up is sufficient (if this mail reaches all on [EMAIL PROTECTED], that is). Alternatively, the .htaccess-files could be made less version-dependent to enable the mirrors to work properly. I'm not sure on how this should be done though. It will have to be a trade-off between functionality and backward compability. If someone wants to do their own filtering, here's the raw data from my lwp-request loop over the mirror-sites: <URL:http://www.luth.se/~goggi/ proj/apache/mirror/rawdata.txt> Wkr /G -- G�ran �berg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <URL:http://www.luth.se/~goggi/> Computer Support Center Adm./CoAdm. of Lule� University, SWEDEN {www,proxy,{www,apache}.dc,ftp}.luth.se _________________________________________________________________________
