[WBEL-users] Apache httpd 2.0.54 (or .55) for WBEL3?

[Eric B.]

Thanks for the info Scott.  Definitely very enlightening.

My problem however, is that I'm interested in one particular patch that is 
not a security patch as much as a functionality patch.  A bug in httpd 
causes me issues with the ProxyPassReverse argument, which is causing my 
proxy pages to be non-accessible.  Apparently, it has been found and 
potentially fixed, but likely not necessarily a patch that Red Hat would 
include in the 2.0.46-XX releases as it is not a security fix.  Perhaps if 
RedHat maintained a list of patches that are applied to each backport, I'd 
be able to find it in there, but I scanned the RedHat site and couldn't find 
such a document.  Do you know if they track that information anywhere, short 
of within RHN?

Thanks!

Eric
