You might give it a try.
heh... did you peek at the headers in my posts here? clue: User-Agent. ;) I'm running svn r211 already. hmm... I've set all of the servers to "never expire" anything here... that might be a clue, at least I can set EasySW's server to do that. (I'm trying to get around to submit the patch to allow Pan to show the version etc. in the User-Agent header, but since I am using GNU's latest auto* tools, the autogen.sh won't create a working build system with Pan's present state of affairs, so I resort to manually updating the *.in files when the *.am's are modified. I'll need to open another bugreport on this... it's beyond my know-how to fix...) Thanks for chatting... I'll continue to investigate. :) _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
