Frequently Asked Questions

Using Different Language and Character Set Versions of Document

You can use

multiviews

, a general name given to the Apache server’s ability to

provide language and character-specific document variants in response to a request.

Sending Proxy Sensitive Requests to Oracle HTTP Server Behind a Firewall

You should use the Proxy directives, and not the Cache directives, to send proxy
sensitive requests across firewalls.

Oracle HTTP Server Version Number

Oracle HTTP Server is based on Apache version 1.3.28.

Apache v2.0 Support with Oracle Database, 10

Release 1 (10.1)

Oracle Database, 10

Release 1 (10.1) is still based on the 1.3.x stack from Apache

organization.

Applying Apache Security patches to Oracle HTTP Server

You cannot apply the Apache security patches to Oracle HTTP Server for the
following reasons:

■

Oracle tests and appropriately modifies security patches before releasing them
to Oracle HTTP Server users.

■

In many cases those alerts may not be applicable, for example,

openSSL

alerts,

since Oracle has removed those components from the stack in use.

■

Oracle releases these patches soon enough that the time-delay impact of getting
the patch from Oracle versus open source organization should be minimal and
the benefit with respect to supportability, tremendous.
