Somewhere between September 4 and now, the second problem has been disappeared *PROBABLY* (this seems OK from first look). Currently, I use the CVS snapshot httpd-2.0_20011110210001, while the version that HAD the problem was httpd-2.0+mod_proxy_20010901210000 + apr_20010902042105 + apr-util_20010902042122 (*A LONG TIME AFTER THE AKAMAI PROBLEM WAS REPORTED AS "RESOLVED" !!!*). If anybody opened a bug report, it can be closed (probably...) (I'll report later this week, after I'm sure that it's gone). As to the first problem, nothing has been done; Anybody look at it? > After having several problems with a site that I'm involved with, and that > I tried to access through mod_proxy of 2.0, I looked for another site (more > public) that has the same problems, and found http://www.ynet.co.il (don't > try to read it, unless you know Hebrew ;-) > > Now to the problems: > > 1.
