user and password in httpd.conf.</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Updated May 5, 2007:</b></p>
<ul>

is not compatible with Apache 1.x. </li>
</ul>
<p><b>Updated April 30, 2001:</b></p>
<ul>
<li>Add version string to the Apache start string for visible evidence during
startup. </li>
</ul>
<p><b>Updated September 27, 2001:</b></p>
<ul>
<li>Add apxs build, primarily to allow easier builds for binary distributions
and to address EAPI warnings on Red Hat. Thanks to Kyle Vanderbeek for the
basis of this change.</li>
<li>Fix array management bug.</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Updated September 23, 2001:</b></p>
<ul>
<li>Added WebKeepRefresh directive to assist with content that is not directly
requested by a browser, such as PHP includes.</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Updated September 4, 2001:</b></p>
<ul>
<li>Builds using Apache 1.3 APACI structure</li>
<li>Updated to Apache 1.3 API</li>
<li>Supports both static configurations and loadable modules</li>
<li>Enhanced documentation for new options and common configurations</li>
<li>New WebKeepSync directive to facilitate server-side scripting like PHP,
server-side includes and Perl</li>
<li>New WebKeepDirectoryIndex directive to flexibly complement Apache DirectoryIndex</li>
<li>Built and tested on several version of Red Hat Linux and FreeBSD.</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Potential Enhancements:</b></p>
<p>The following enhancements are being considered for future versions. If you
have a preference or if you have an idea that is not on the list, please contact
the curator.</p>
<ul>
<li>Add support for mass virtual hosting, analogous to mod_vhost_alias functionality.</li>
<li>Add binary loadable modules to the depot for ease of installation.</li>
<li>Port to other platforms. Most prominent are probably Solaris and Windows.
This depends on platform availability and updates to compilers for P4API builds.
Please contact the curator.</li>
<li>Add WebKeepScriptAlias to eliminate some redundant mappings for /cgi-bin
and the like.</li>
<li>Reduce the number of errors logged to the Apache logs.</li>
<li>Add WebDAV support for direct submission to the depot.</li>
<li>Add directory listing capability.</li>
<li>Port as an ISAPI filter for IIS.</li>
<li>Increased integration with application servers, including the major J2EE
servers and Zope.</li>
<li>Add availability of P4 environment variables to execution contexts.</li>
<li>Support Apache 2.0.<br>
