I upgraded my hotspot, so you can check the logs...

By the way, I added "-new-libhttpd" to the extraversion but il looks
like the version number is truncated in the node list page...

| 	As you probably know, libhttpd has been less then stable. Part of

| one by one unless we lied to it and spawned off a thread setting it's
| server->clientSock to a bad value and then calling
httpdEndRequest(server).
|
| 	As of now, I have split the old httpd struct into to components,
| httpd for server global stuff and request for request specific stuff.
|
| 	I have changed wifidog gateway accordingly. Now we spawn a worker
| thread (in the new httpd_thread.[ch] files) to handle the whole of a
| request. The old hack in http_callback_auth to spawn a thread for that
| long process has been removed.
|
| 	This needs some *TESTING*.
|
| 	It runs for me, YMMVW.
|
| 	Prior to check in, I tagged the tree with PRE_NEW_LIBHTTPD.
