Thank you Robert, This is a very useful piece of information. I often have my own debates as to whether to switch back to Apache on Windows - but you've answered this for me. Secure document management is an important piece of my application - thank you.
Does anyone have some feedback about Witango on Linux/Apache over Windows/IIS (this is a performance and stability question - not security)? This has come up for discussion again lately, with us internally. Are there now any better ODBC solutions available on Linux these days? Just speculating. Cheers....
