why is the manager deploy command disabled...

in Tomcat 4.1.24?

in org.apache.catalina.servlets.ManagerServlet,

at line 342, we find the comment...
// Process the requested command (note - "/deploy" is not listed here)

and indeed, there is no way for the deploy function to be called. This 
disables calls to the manager deploy function and results in the unknown 
command message returned to the user.

Is there something wrong with the deploy function that caused the developer 
to disable the function?

If possible, could Craig R. McClanahan respond to this?

Thanks
