This would be more appropriate for comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix.

Apache does not support AOLserver's non-standard BROWSE method.  They
lie on their web site:

   All interaction between AOLserver and AOLpress is based on industry
   standard HTTP methods including "PUT" and "DELETE". AOLserver will
   interact with any editor/browser capable of implementing these
   methods.

BROWSE is _NOT_ a "industry standard HTTP method".
