It has been some time since I last played with fp-extensions under
Apache, but the Apache server-module is available as source.
This is taken from the mod_frontpage.c:
* Apache FrontPage module.
*
* Copyright (c) 1996-1997 Microsoft Corporation -- All Rights Reserved.
*
* NO WARRANTIES [...]
[...]
* $Revision: 5 $
* $Date: 6/19/98 5:25p $
The source code for the module is part of the server extensions
distribution - see http://officeupdate.microsoft.com/frontpage/wpp/platforms.htm
Note that Apache 1.3 isn't even listed and when I last installed the fp
extensions on a Apache server, it was in fact with a 1.2.x release.
So maybe, the module is broken for Apache 1.3 ?
