Wow, you're still going on about that one.

We discussed this issue back in April. The "many web servers" that
offered this feature seems to be a set of one: Quid Pro Quo for Mac
(mid-90s, pre-OS-X). There may be others, but they don't turn up in
any basic search.

I already outlined why this kind of feature is a bad idea in the first
place. It doesn't provide useful information but has significant
performance implications for a busy server.

Finally, apache is designed as a modular and extensible server. If you
don't want to use any third-party modules or add-ons, you have only
yourself to blame for missing features.
