RE: New Module: mod_auth_mysql_digest
Considering the popularity of MySQL-based auth, I think this would be a great addition to httpd. See: http://www.securityspace.com/s_survey/data/man.200210/apachemods.html Cool, no one's cooking up a mod_log_mysql for apache2? it's in the back of my mind. -- james
nroff man pages going away
[X-posted to dev because I don't want anybody being surprised by the disappearance of man pages and having a fit about it.] Question: How important is it that we distribute nroff man pages? At the moment there is nobody updating the man pages because nobody feels like playing with nroff. Even if they do get updated, it is difficult to transform the nroff into a format that works well in the manual. So the choices are: 1. Just ditch the nroff and covert to xml like the rest of the docs; stop distributing independent man pages. 2. Leave in nroff, hope that somebody decides to update them and that we can figure out a decent way to convert to xml/html for the manual. 3. Convert to xml, and find a way to generate nroff from the xml so that we can continue to distribute man pages. I believe that 2 is not a solution, since nobody has been willing to touch the nroff pages in a long time. They are getting more and more out of date. The best solution would be 3, but that would be quite a chunk of work. So unless somebody comes up with a better solution, I will be removing the nroff man pages and replacing them with xml. Joshua.

So the choices are: : 3. Convert to xml, and find a way to generate nroff from the xml so that we can continue to distribute man pages. As a hint... Solaris has SGML man docs. /usr/lib/sgml/sgml2roff can be used to convert SGML docs to roff ones. Tsuyoshi SASAMOTO [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Solaris has SGML man docs. /usr/lib/sgml/sgml2roff can be used to convert SGML docs to roff ones. There are also docbook to nroff converters. I'm not saying it isn't possible, I'm just saying it won't be easy. Our doc format is neither docbook, nor SGML, and even if it was, getting these types of converters to work is often a nightmare.

[PATCH] mod_deflate.c
The current behaviour of mod_deflate is to set the Vary: Accept-Encoding
header dependant on the fact, whether the client sent Accept-Encoding: gzip
or not.
However, I think, that behaviour is not correct. At the time, the DEFLATE
filter is activated, the resource actually /does/ vary on Accept-Encoding.
Independant from what the client accepts or not. The attached patch moves
the Vary header setting to the time before the filter checks the supplied
Accept-Encoding but after the time, it checks whether the stream is already
compressed (and probably already correct labeled with a Vary header).

So one has to configure an explicit Header append Vary User-Agent in that case (no-gzip can be set in various ways, not only with BrowserMatch).
