POST not allowed (was Re: Location problems)

[Igor Clark]

Ah, OK. I guess that means I can't use this configuration then, as I  
need to have POST working under /admin.
However I need to IP-restrict /admin, so the previous version I was  
using is apparently no good either, so it seems I'm stuck.

Thanks for your help though, I wouldn't have got this far without it.

Do you have a rough idea when 0.6.27 will be?

Will I need to make significant config changes to migrate from 0.5.35?

cheers,
Igor
