I am sorry if I have offended you by my request. I apologize and hope you will consider this matter on the facts more than feelings.
Apache 2 does not appear to be beta. http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/Announcement2.html " We consider this release to be the best version of Apache available and encourage users of all prior versions to upgrade." I checked at http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/Announcement.html and found the following text: IMPORTANT NOTE FOR APACHE USERS: Apache 1.3 was designed for Unix OS variants. While the ports to non-Unix platforms (such as Win32, Netware or OS2) are of an acceptable quality, Apache 1.3 is not optimized for these platforms. Security, stability, or performance issues on these non-Unix ports do not generally apply to the Unix version, due to software's Unix origin. Apache 2.0 has been structured for multiple operating systems from its inception, by introducing the Apache Portability Library and MPM modules. Users on non-Unix platforms are strongly encouraged to move up to Apache 2.0 for better performance, stability and security on their platforms. If users are being "stongly encouraged" by apache, it may be appropriate to honor their judgement. The changes that I suggested are quite modest, but using apxs2 would seem to be a useful change. Again, I apologize if my request annoys you. That was not my intent.
