Was the original plan to move from the GIF format to PNG for these? Should I include a patch for httpd.conf to do this, as well? Quite a bit of space would be reduced in the 2.0 tar ball if GIF were elimintated. No, GIF will still be the default for quite some time. Roy

What I'm more-or-less referring to are the Language-related stuff and IfModule containers (as well as bringing up some of the more informative comments and such from 1.3.) Apache 2.0's httpd.conf is based off of 1.3.9's, and there have been a few changes to the 1.3 httpd.conf since then that are cross-version compatable and were not up-ported to the one in the 2.0 repository.

It'll give those who notice these things a good feeling :) Actually, I think the 2.0 config has diverged quite a bit from 1.3 in terms of comments/etc. Most of it is intentional. If you have specific suggestions on things that need to be changed in 2.0, that is very welcome. (Although the contents of the default config can be something of a religious issue.) Joshua.
