Hi All,
 
With the amount of spare time I have at the moment, I am not
able to put together a Tomcat 3.3.1 release in short order.
Doing things quickly is not my forte and the earliest I could
do a 3.3.1-beta1 would be the following weekend, i.e.
the weekend of the 20th.
 
In addition, I would rather not leave Tomcat 3.3 with the
"aux.jsp" DOS problem for that duration.  I propose to add
to the site an updated tomcat_util.jar and tomcat_modules.jar
that fix the problem based the changes used in Tomcat 3.3.1.
The updated source files would be made available as well
on the site.  Following the patch, I would announce its
availability and reason for existence on the usual mailing lists.
 
Since, IMHO, it makes no sense to do any branching on the
Tomcat 3.3 track, I propose to add a "patches/tomcat33"
folder under "proposals" and use it as the location in CVS
in which to keep the 3.3 updated Java files.  I'm not
a CVS guru, so let me know if there is a better way to
deal with files like this.
 
Does anyone have a better suggestion about dealing with
the current DOS vunlerability in Tomcat 3.3 (and/or
has more time than I do and wants to volunteer to be
release manager :-) )?
 
If there are no objections or other suggestions, I'll proceed
with the Tomcat 3.3 patch and then start preparing a 3.3.1
release plan.
 
Cheers,
Larry Isaacs
