[Administrative Hat On: This list is for OpenSolaris Web Stack
discussion. The Open Web Server is part of those efforts, but
naturally only when compiling/running on OpenSolaris. The code is
known to compile on 2008.11; issues compiling it on non-OpenSolaris
platforms don't really fit the charter of this list. Personally, I
don't mind the occasional sidebar outside those lines, others may be
grumpier.]


Thanks for checking out the open web server code!

The build instructions page[1] documents the minimum platform/library
versions the code is known to compile and work on. We haven't tried on
anything older so there may well be any number of issues we don't know
about if you try on older platforms. 

It might be nice to have it autoconfigure its feature set to the
capabilities of available libraries. (The commercial product is only
built with known versions so that's not an effort Sun has needed internally.)

Your specific patch makes check_bypass() always be true, probably the
opposite of what you want if trying to run with an older NSS.

In any case, Sun management has not yet defined a mechanism for
incorporating contributions. You're of course free to apply them
locally to the extent allowed by the license (BSD).
