Why would I want >to consider switching? Whats even more interesting is that the latest version of NCSA httpd (1.5) incorporates many of the changes that were made in the Apache version. The difference between "true" NCSA httpd and the Apache version seems to be less now. In addition, httpd 1.5 supports kerberos authentication, permenent redirects, and other performance enhancements. Take a look at http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/docs/Upgrade.html for more information about the changes. Overall, I think NCSA httpd 1.5 is a better product than Apache, but I don't have enough information to be an expert on this. I recommend checking out http://www.apache.org:80/ for information on Apache and http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/ for information on NCSA. Take care, -- Nick Kralevich nickkral@cory.eecs.berkeley.edu
