Re: [mod-security-users] Performance using ModSecurity with Apache 1.3.x

[Zach R. <ad...@li...>]

I've been known to be wrong about Plesk from time to time since I don't

At any rate for those of us that use Apache 1.3 for one reason or 
another would benefit from this.

Any ETA on a release or at least a beta?
