Sure you can. I'm currently running w3-msql under solaris 2.4 both under
the CERN httpd and under an unpatched Apache server with no problems.

I'm not able to run w3-auth, anyway (I think that the patch is needed for
this)

How can I make w3-auth.c work with my Apache HTTPD server?

You need to patch the Apache server itself. The following patch from Simon
Kershaw <Simon.Kershaw@Smallworld.co.uk> works against Apache 1.2b7:

        else if (!strcasecmp (hdrs[i].key, "Authorization"))
! continue;
        else
            table_set (e, http2env (r->pool, hdrs[i].key), hdrs[i].val);
      }

            table_set (e, "CONTENT_LENGTH", hdrs[i].val);
        else if (!strcasecmp (hdrs[i].key, "Authorization"))
! table_set (e, "HTTP_AUTHORIZATION", hdrs[i].val);
! /* continue; */
        else
            table_set (e, http2env (r->pool, hdrs[i].key), hdrs[i].val);
      }

To avoid conflicts with mismatched whitespace, apply this patch using the
"-l" option of patch. (That's an "el", NOT a "one" or an "eye").

Cheers,
