Sure, he's the only person at Netscape who talks any sense these days.

If anyone doesn't want him on this list, speak up - I won't argue
to have him on the list.

One for the bug list...

I've added it to my copy, with a note that no code is available (this
is, again, http://www.ai.mit.edu/tools/new-httpd/patch-list.txt). I
still haven't seen Cliff's list, unfortunately.

As long as I'm now adding items for which we have no code, I made a
start on adding wish-list extensions, and added one interesting patch
which is available from the Brooks Cutter patches (which you can get
to from

http://www.yahoo.com/Computers/World_Wide_Web/HTTP/Servers/NCSA_httpd/

I've tried to mark those items for which I've seen no code fairly
clearly. That doesn't always imply that they're complicated jobs,
just that no one has done the dirty business of writing *and testing*
a fix.

On another subject, it's time to reach closure on Rob McCool. Shall I
officially invite him to join?
