[Phil Shaw]

Phew, almost a year now!

I have been looking at the way that Tomcat is set up on FC4 and 
have written some notes below.

Thursday 22 September
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Re-partitioned my dual boot workstation and (eventually) upgraded 
to FC4. All partition and bootloader nightmares realised and 
overcome, both systems restored to working condition -- I'll spare 
the details. 

Tuesday 27 September
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Started debugging for FC4; first case, problems getting HTTP 
headers from URL connections, GCJ bug 24084.

Wednesday 28 September
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Created a workarounds for the header bug above in the JSpider 
classes HTTPHeaderUtil and CookieUtil. Found another GCJ bug 
handling gzip encoding, filed and applied a workarounds to 
FetchRobotsTXTTaskImpl and SpiderHttpURLTask; for the time 
being they do not accept any alternative encoding. Created and 
filed some test cases for the problems.

Corrected some configuration problems for JSpider with class 
references that had not kept up to date with the changes to the 
store package.

Thursday 29 September
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Further investigation of the gzip encoding bug. Submitted a bug 
report to GCJ/Classpath. Updated MKSearch site with 
documentation and planned task status, etc.

Friday 30 September
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Research and write-up for Tomcat on FC4 as above.
