I know of no plans to enahnce the web client for the next release. So if
you want that to happen then, as always, you should put your suggestions in
a note and send it to netview@tivoli.com for consideration. If you don't,
then the product planners may never do what you want.

We have currently a apache 1.3.6 installed parallel to the
netview-webserver
and integrated some of the configuration directives of the
netview-webserver
to equally serve both netview and other pages with our own security
(none or apache).

I hope that netview 6.0 will come with at least Apache 1.3.6 and all module
mechanism enabled so we could compile some misc modules for it
(namely: mod_perl and mod_php3)
Hopefully,
