WinHttpd X1.1 Release Notes

This is an experimental release of NCSA httpd V1.1 for Microsoft Windows. The code is based on the Unix NCSA httpd Version 1.1, written by Rob McCool of NCSA (robm@ncsa.uiuc.edu). The Windows version was written by Bob Denny (rdenny@netcom.com).

The access and authorization support in this version is virtually untested. Please give this a workout. Also, there may be cases where the server does not properly handle paths with DOS drive letters in them. The Unix server had no concept of drive letters, as the Unix file system does not use them. I have tried to catch all of the cases where assumptions were made regarding "/" at the beginning of a path, but I may have missed some.

Please note that neither NCSA nor the authors are in a position to provide technical support for this server. Direct your questions and problems to the comp.infosystems.www USENET newsgroup. The authors do monitor this newsgroup, as do many other people who may be able to help you with questions and/or problems.

Server configuration and operation has been kept as similar as possible to the Unix httpd. There are, however, some features that are not yet supported in the Windows version.
