mod_roaming is a Netscape Roaming Access module for Apache. With mod_roaming you can use your Apache webserver as a Roaming Access server for your browser. This allows you to store your browser preferences, bookmarks, address books, cookies etc. on the server so that you can use (and update) the same settings from any browser that can access the server.

Supported browsers are:

Netscape Communicator 4.5x through 4.8x
Mozilla 1.8 (currently in beta, see Bugzilla for progress)

This version has been ported to Apache 2.0

Here are some key features of "mod roaming":
mod_roaming allows your existing Apache webserver to double as a Roaming Access server.
mod_roaming implements the GET, HEAD, PUT, DELETE and MOVE methods that make Roaming Access work.
Specifically mod_roaming implements the non-standard MOVE method so that you do not have to set the li.prefs.http.useSimplePut preference to true.
mod_roaming automatically creates directories for new users to keep administration simple.
mod_roaming does not allow anonymous access to the roaming access files, does not allow users to read or write each others roaming access files, and is generally very strict about the requests it allows. Only that which is needed by Netscape Communicator 4.5 or Mozilla is allowed.
mod_roaming can be installed as a DSO (Dynamic Shared Object) module.

Requirements:
Apache 1.3, 2.x

What's New in This Release:
Port to Apache 2.0 fully tested now.
Binaries for Win32 and Netware provided by Guenter Knauf.
Binaries for OS/2 provided by Brian Havard.
