<ul>
  <li>Add basic authentication against Perforce user database as alternative to 
    user and password in httpd.conf.</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>

#	Change	User	Description	Committed
#1	1844	Chetan Patil	Made following changes to the webkeeper code: - Directory listing (uses p4 dirs and files to build the listing) - If for a directory, the trailing slash is missing, redirect to a new url with a trailing slash (mod_dir code). - Debug statements for debugging - Bug fix where sync was being used unintialized (mod_webkeep2.cc). This has not been tested with the syncing capability of Webkeeper. - Code outputs http content type based on if the data is gif, jpeg or binary data; previously it only output octet-stream for all non-textual data. - Code tries to reduce the impact on the perforce server by caching some information between processing phases (isFile and isDir) - Misc Minor edits
