NCSA httpd 1.3/pl2
Does anyone know anything about,

Server: NCSA/1.3pl2

One of the movie db mirrors is running it, and it's not
responding properly. I can't reach the site webmaster to
find out what's going on.

Strangely, HEAD works fine.

I know last week NCSA released a new bugfix version of 1.3 - I think it
was to deal with more security holes a la the CERT warning.

Nope --- I believe even the latest NCSA 1.3x release, 1.3R+, identifies itself
as NCSA/1.3 to clients (at least if I'm reading httpd.h right).

NB this has a few more stack-scribbling fixes, by sguillory, which we may
want to pick up at some point, even if we are still going with HUGE=MAX by
default...

Those 1.3R+ changes in full:
Add a top-level Makefile
Add solaris to cgi-src/Makefile
Security fixes to cgi-src/imagemap.c
Add solaris to support/Makefile
src:
Add solaris to Makefile
Add two new routines to util.c: lim_strcpy and strncpy_dir, which check
array bounds, plus prototypes in httpd.h
Change http_access.c (evaluate_access) to use new routines, ditto
http_dir.c (index_directory), http_get.c (send_node).
Change http_log.c (log_reason) to malloc a buffer instead of using a fixed-
size array.

I've uploaded their tar file to hyperreal.
