wow, this is getting racist, OP, please delete this whole thread if possible.
James is no white, he is one stupid Indian (at least from his last name) who does not understand the value of Open Source. And the simple fact that the docs here are purely a reference guide with some exceptions. You just try out the directives if you are not sure and observe the output / end result and you will get there. There are so many things I still do not know in AWS but if there is a new requirement, the only place I visit is the Apache documentation. First try to help myself and if I have exhausted my options, ask the community for help. One of my ex-Manager was of the same opinion as James - would always butt-head with me about Open Source and try to shoot down every Open source proposal I had. Like James argued that "poor documentation implied having to pay for support / consulting. So it is not truly free". If at all you need support, then why not pay!? Don't you pay 20% of the license fee for annual support for all your existing Enterprise products. You save the huge up-front license fee for unlimited installations, processors, servers, sites going with open source s/w so can't you shell out at least support dollars. I just don't get that argument. But at least having a rock stable Apache 1.x, 2.0.x, and currently 2.2.x, and Suse Linux 8,9,10 for the last 7-8 years w/o having to pay a dime has silenced him and other nay sayers in my org. Anyway, coming from India, a nation of many million programmers and IT folks, but has hardly made a serious original contribution to the open source community (or to IT in general), I had to chyme in and let the entire open source community know that how heck of a job you all are doing expecting very little to nothing in return and enduring personal time and sacrifice and how much your efforts are appreciated around the world. You all are my role models. -Jigs From: Vincent Jong <megaspaz...@gmail.com> To: users@httpd.apache.org Date: 07/28/2010 09:45 AM Subject: Re: [us...@httpd] a chain of proxy servers Heck no.
