- Hi,
-
- This patch is for the Cern httpd (version 3.0, library version 2.17).
- It allows you to set the *_proxy options from the configuration file.
- Normally you have to set them via environment variables.
-
- Whenever httpd need the *_proxy settings, it reads them from the environment.
- When you specify them only in the configuration file, it puts them into
- the environment, but because of the missing putenv() in the NeXT Library,
- it can't do it.
-
- So all I did, was to include the code for the putenv function, and add a
- define NEED_PUTENV to the NeXT makefile. The putenv is from the
- Building_Satan Nextanswer. I have sent this patch to the cern people,
- but got no reply so far.
-
- To apply this patch, get WWWDaemon_3.0 and WWWLibrary_2.17. Unpack them
- into the same directory, apply the patch (sorry, it's a reverse (-R) patch)
- and type make.
-
- The resulting binaries work for me, if you notice any problems, you can
- contact me.
