Apache 2.0.44 Released
rbowen writes "The Apache Software Foundation is pleased to announce the release of Apache 2.0.44, which addresses a number of security issues. Download it from your favorite mirror." Rich notes that it fixes some important security problems (under Windows) for the Windows version. Also interesting is that now there truly is a split between a development and regular releases, adopting the Linux kernel model, with 2.1 being the dev Apache tree and 2.0 being the release tree.
- Use the mirrors!
- Why do you guys post every single minor release?
- Damn, I just loaded 2.0.x! Stop updating the software so fast!
- I'm still using 1.9.x.
- I just downloaded it. Now what?
Ad nauseum.
"Rich notes that it fixes some important security problems (under Windows) for the Windows version"
I fixed that server security problem a long time ago...I just moved my Windows server from underneath the window to the rack beside the window.
Better than a poke in the eye? Two in the bush? Using a bloke manually replying to all server requests?
What scares me most about that site is that the content didn't freak me out like it used to.
Try to crack mine then.

I was going to mod this up as +1 Funny, but I was afraid that nobody would "get it." So, here's the reverse dns lookup so everybody understands.

Why is it I can write insightful comments but can't come up with a clever signature?
"The biggest security problem with running apache on Windows is Windows. Anyone who uses windows for a server deserves what happens to their server."
Everybody who generalizes sucks.

Duh.
It's rare that you're presented with a knob whose only two positions are Make History and Flee Your Glorious Destiny.
If you are willing to use a non-free solution like IIS, then a non-free product based upon Apache that provides SSL should be attractive to you. I am referring to IHS (IBM HTTP Server) which is a value added (to Apache) product from IBM.
There is no such thing as luck. Luck is nothing but an absence of bad luck.
from the post: it fixes some important security problems (under Windows) for the Windows version.
I wonder... does this mean there are some security problems left in the Windows Version under OSes other than Windows?
my
But they love the popularity anyways...
Stop redirecting the webmaster account on your box to /dev/null. I tried to mail you about a hole on your box last week. Fix it or I'll root you and leave a nice message explaining things on your homepage.
So I guess there are quite a few people using it.
You have a buddy that runs Apache2 so all the sudden quite a few people must be using it? What kind of clusterfart extrapolation is that?
as a professional bank robber, i refuse to let laws dictate how _I_ feed my family.
Your statement is so dumb and stupid, I don't know where to begin debunking it.
Almost every statement is a generalization.
"The sky is blue" - but not when it's cloudy or at night.
"This item costs x$" - but not if you add in taxes, transportation to get to the store.
"My table is flat" - but not if you take into account the small inperfections on the wodden surface and the tiny tilt it sure has.
"Windows is a security nightmare" - but not if you spend day and night securing the computer, maintaining virus-scanners and install and test all patches.
The ability to generalize is a basic ability of a thinking being.
P.S.: Seriously, why should anybody want to use Windows as a webserver? The only reason I can think of is when you are locked into MS-only technology like ASP which rules out Apache anyway. So why? Just because the computer came with Windows? Because Bill Gates tells you?
