Glad to see it finally!! Can't wait to really rev this baby up!

I got the binaries for sparc 2.4. Noticed the following errors, problems:

1) At invocation, I get the question about entering my passphrase. No matter what I enter, it returns: "password good".

2) invoking with -s options produces errors in the error_log when trying to contact/get any page: "[Thu Aug 29 09:57:16 1996] HTTPd: Starting as ./httpd -s -d /usr/local/src/httpd_1.6b1 [Thu Aug 29 09:57:24 1996] HTTPd/SSLTSW: SSL handshake failed, error #-13"

3) I really need to be able to have the XBITHACK, SECURE_LOGS, No LOG_TIMES, & FCGI_SUPPORT compiled in. On the same note, is imagemap support turned on?

On a side note, I had gottten the 1.5.2a1 non-export from Brandon Long many moons ago. I've taken the fixes from 1.5.2 final export that fixes the core-a-rama with file distriptors. I've left in the SSLeay & SHTTPD support. I've also compiled in the FCGI 1.5 developers kit. So far with it, ALL of the ssl demos in the demodocs directory work great. SSL-FCGI also works. FCGI works. Imagemap works. BUT SSL-IMAGEMAP does not work. When will the sources for 1.6b be available? I'd like to use the 1.6b with SSL-FCGI & IMAGEMAPS. I've several database applications that rely on the FCGI & are screaming for the SSL-FCGI combination. The 1.5.2a1.patch works for them, but now they are wanting to add imagemap support!! I've stalled them by having them do client side imagemap, but now they want the imagemap to go to the database! Never satisfied.

Keep up the good work.
