may be we should stop trying to parse the leading string and just gor for "/x.y.zz" part. Otherwise we will never satisfy everybody.
I think the last time this came up we decided that we just couldn't satsify everyone and we left it as is.
my personal pov is that Apache-Test is for the Apache webserver as it ships from httpd.apache.org - if third parties want to mess with the official server designation they can, this being open source and all, but then they shouldn't expect software that adheres to the conventions within httpd to run without similar modifications.
that is, if you patch httpd to create a custom server name you can patch Apache-Test to work with the custom name if you want it to work with your distribution. it shouldn't be the development team's issue.
In which case we need to remove the custom patterns we have added so far?
+1, but the last time we added a new pattern when somebody brought an argument, that users weren't able to run A-T because of this failure and waiting for the vendor to fix this was not an option. Moreover if users download A-T from CPAN and not a binary package from the vendor, they will have this problem and they will come to complain here.
So may be my suggestion of just matching the "/x.y.zz" part is worth a try?
