Hi,

I'm not entirely convinced this is the right place for this question as it may be an Apache issue rather than FreeBsd/Port issue. Either way, I thought I'd start here first.

I've been running Apache 1.3 from the ports on FreeBsd 5.3R for quite a while. I've even been running it with mod_digest to provide some basic password protection. Unfortunately mod_digest doesn't work with IE. This hasn't really been a problem until now. Now that it is an issue I've been looking to enable mod_auth_digest in place of mod_digest as this should work with IE too. The problem is that I cannot find any reference of it in my install or in any of the patches applied to the Apache 1.3 port; as far as I can tell mod_auth_digest is nowhere to be found on my install. I've also been trying to google for similar reports of this problem but currently to no avail.

Does anyone have any information on this? It could well be the case that I'm missing something obvious that I just don't know about so any pointers to other resources I might check would also be appreciated.

According to this: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_auth_digest.html
if you have 1.3.8 or later the files required are included with the rest of apache. They also list it as experimental. Building it into apache should be as easy as adding the correct options to CONFIGURE_ARGS

Ok. I had already seen the apache page detailing the fact that it should already be available in the Apache distribution since 1.3.8, which is why I was confused when I couldn't find it. The problem I have now is how would I find out what options are available to be added to CONFIGURE_ARGS? Is this something I would find somewhere in the ports info or in the Apache docs?

You can do make extract in the dir for the port. Then you can go to the work dir, find configure and do ./configure --help
That will give you a list of available options.

Thanks for your help,

Chris
