Re: notes on 1.1b4 authorization and table_set() function calls. (fwd)

Anyone know anything about this (the second paragraph)? I don't use Windows, so have no experience with any of this. It sounds like the Windows/Keep-Alive bug we've seen sometimes, but that part about "no evidence of a connection" is somewhat startling. Any ideas?

Gotcha. I didn't think of that one. Thanks for responding.

It looks like 1.1b4 is still suffering the "lost connections" problem as with 1.1b3 -- every so often, a request from a Windows based machine just drops off the network. The netscape client on the windows machine says "host contacted waiting for reply" but netstat on the server shows no evidence of a connection, nor do the access or error logs show anything. 1.1b2 did not have this problem. It is hard to reproduce as it can happen at any time to any request. Other people reported it on the newsgroup, and backing out to 1.1b2 does make it work just fine. I can't see anything in the Apache code that should make it fail. I'll bet anything it is a Windoze bug, but that means the rest of the world needs to work around it. ;-)

I'm on BSD/OS 2.1 with all patches, and Apache 1.1b4.
