Or if you have no such ambition but just want to share a patch, somewhere on the web is better than a mailinglist. A traditional way to do this is in bugzilla, though the wiki-faq might be a better solution now that it's available. ] Tip: what is the problem you're fixing? You want to store plaintext passwords, that's your business. But why are plaintext passwords in SQL any different to plaintext passwords in, say, a DBM or flat file? An equivalent patch in mod_auth_basic would apply not just to passwords stored in SQL, but to passwords anywhere. Should we do that? Well, the case for it goes something like "We should support storing passwords in plaintext because [... make your case here ...]". If you convince people it adds value, then maybe we'll adopt it. -- Nick Kew Application Development with Apache - the Apache Modules Book http://www.apachetutor.org/
