Runtime config for CGI authorization

           Summary: Runtime config for CGI authorization
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.0.46
          Platform: All
               URL: (none)
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: mod_cgi
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Please consider adding a runtime configuration directive along the lines of the 
current compile-time SECURITY_HOLE_PASS_AUTHORIZATION script.




There is currently no way to author scripts that do authentication - short of 
recompiling Apache, which many are reluctant to do (for good reasons, eg. 
keeping package managers happy). Passing authentication is by no means *always* 
a security hole or even an important issue and authors may have a good reason 
for wanting it.




Eric's patch (http://www.w3.org/1999/02/26-modules/User/Apache-defer-auth.html) 
is great, but probably needs a more fearsome name than 'PassAuth'.
