I think it's unfair to say that I post this every time when I've only mentioned it twice before, with the previous time being 2 years ago. I don't have a grudge, I just recognize it as an easy to reproduce bug that disqualifies me from using the software. I'm not itching to get off of nginx as I already have a site that works, so I have no motivation to do extra work to fix bugs in other projects.

Last year: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39474419 and you also said "I have only brought this up once before on HN and it was over 2 years ago." in that same thread.

Still, only you and one other person with a similar grudge have ever complained about it (we've never had any github issues opened about it in years, neither on our forums) and nobody who cares has attempted to solve it with code changes.

Looks like https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy/issues/1632 to me?

Yes, for Caddy v0, which is no longer relevant because Caddy v2 was a rewrite from the ground up. No issues have been opened by anyone who cares about this since Caddy v2 was released over 5 years ago.

I'll admit I don't have perfect memory of my comments. I'll also admit this is a niche feature.

Instead of poring over this person’s history maybe fix the bug?

Why would we work on something we don't care about, for free? If they paid a sponsorship, that would allow us (moreso Matt) to spend the time looking into it. Or, people complaining about it can spend their own time finding a solution rather than making noise like this. (Also - I didn't "pore over", I simply searched for "caddyserver.com." in HN's search and it turned up every time two specific individuals brought this up)

It's ironic that you are bringing it up on a post about the toll that responding to issues is having on their mental health. I can see why it would strike a nerve if you do so on almost every front page post about Caddy.
