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.

Here comes the onslaught... by Anonymous Coward · 2003-01-21 15:12 · Score: 4, Funny

- 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.

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?

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?
There are other non-free good solutions by Kenneth+Stephen · 2003-01-21 16:13 · Score: 4, Funny

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.

hmmm, this is great! by the_real_tigga · 2003-01-21 16:18 · Score: 4, Funny

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?
