Well, that was the case with the HTTP server that used to be included with Webware. It was marked as experimental, but it was fast and seemed to work OK with simple requests. Unfortuately people kept on reporting problems that happened as they got a little further into using it under varying conditions, and nobody had the time to fix it up. Unless someone's willing to commit to real testing and fixing bugs, I'd say let's not include it in Webware and commit the same mistake. - Geoff _______________________________________________ Webware-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-discuss
