That's funny. You should really search the old bug database for all the complaints from people saying we SHOULD accept hostnames with underscores. (In 1.3 we used to reject these outright.) Anyway, I think apache is being "lenient in what it accepts" here, and I see no particular reason to change it. I'd vote "WONTFIX" on this one, but I'll leave it open to see if anyone disagrees. Agreed. Especially in experimental and /or local environments it can be *very* annoying if one has to patch the source in order to simply use one or another character that is not defined (yet!). |
