On a related theme, where should we send bug fixes?

We have found (and fixed) a couple of bugs in the HTTP protocol 
implementation.  I can send the fixes here but they should probably 
go elsewhere as well.  What do you think I should do with them?

The bugs are related to how URLs like this are handled:

http://www.site.com/directory

when directory is a directory name.  A web server should redirect to:

http://www.site.com/directory/

but instead TUX redirects to:

http://site.com/directory/

(or worse if you are using stripping).  Also, if you are running on a 
non-standard port, it forgets it from the redirect e.g.

http://www.site.com:1234/directory

becomes:

http://site.com/directory/

Regards,
Simon.

PS Just for the record, we are running TUX from the RH8.0 and are 
logging traffic via tux.  What is the problem with logging?
