I would just as well remove them all from the FAQ -- any thoughts?

+1

This was written when there was just a handful of CAs, and now that there are so many more, we really don't need
to be in the business of maintaining a list.

Should we at least point them to the Mozilla collection?

Re: [users <at> httpd] Suggestion for Apache2 docs: add another (inexpensive) CA: StartSSL.com

Yes, we should point to another more authoritative list. The Mozilla one seems reasonable, as they have an
interest in keeping it updated.

I find curl's version of mozilla's CA list helpful too.

  Multi-domain, SAN, or UCC certificates are useful when organizations require different root domain
names to run Internet-facing services.  Subject alternate name certificates are also called Unified
Communications Certificates (UCC) since they were primarily designed to support real-time
communications infrastructures. For example, an organization providing both internal and external
unified communications services with two different domain namesfor example,
SIP.VirtualSpaceShip.com the external domain and SIP.VirtualSpaceShip.com for the internal
namewould benefit from a multi-domain certificate because in this case, the wildcard certificate
would not work. In fact, if the organization was using wildcard certificates, two wildcard certificates
would be required because the root domain name is different in each case.

- A single multi-domain certificate could easily support the following names and more: www.
VirtualSpaceShip.com, www.VirtualSpaceShip.ws, www.VirtualCDVD.com,
www.VirtualWorkersInSpace.com 
+ A single multi-domain certificate could easily support the following names and more:

  Multi-domain certificates are also useful for application service providers (ASP) who host
applications for multiple clients with each client using their own domain name. By using a multi-domain
certificate, ASPs can use a single certificate to support multiple clients. Note that the site seal and
certificate Issued To will only be for the primary domain name entered in the certificate and will not
include any of the other domain names. However, the certificate itself will include all of the domain

DO NOT REPLY [Bug 51665] New: Inconsistent documentation of LimitRequestLine and friends.

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=51665

             Bug #: 51665
           Summary: Inconsistent documentation of LimitRequestLine and
                    friends.
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.2.17
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: Documentation
        AssignedTo: docs <at> httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: riccardo.murri <at> gmail.com
    Classification: Unclassified

According to the on-line docs
(http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#limitrequestline),
LimitRequestLine can be used to lower or *raise* the maximum line
limit:

    The LimitRequestLine directive allows the server administrator to
    reduce or increase the limit on the allowed size of a client's
    HTTP request-line.

However, the doxygen documentation says that it can only be used to
*lower* the default line buffer size; indeed, in file
`include/httpd.h` in the Apache 2.2.17 sources, at lines 185--189 it
says:
