[Officeshots] Development server down

Hi all,

Bad news for the moment. The development server at dev.ooficeshots.org
is down. There is a problem with mod_gnutls that causes Apache to use
100% CPU and never finish any request. It started around 5 AM this
morning (European time) and nothing I do seems to work.

#apache on irc.freenode.net isn'table to help either, so I am forced to
take the dev server offline while I investigate this issue.

I am getting really, really fed up with mod_gnutls. It is causing way
more trouble that it's worth. Unfortunately it's the only way to have
multiple SSL virtual hosts with just one IP address. The server that
hosts the development environment also hosts my personal Subversion
repository and my personal working copy of the Officeshots server, all
which require SSL to work.

The production server of Officeshots.org only has one IP address so I
cannot move the development environment there. Using mod_gnutls is not
possible on the production server because Internet Explorer on Windows
XP cannot understand it. I don't feel too bad about excluding Internet
Explorer from the development server, but I can't do that on the
production server of course.
