Re: [users@httpd] mod_auth_form and original POST body

2013-05-02 Thread Paul Norton
Hello David
Have you tried mod_request-keptbodysize
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_request.html#keptbodysize

All the best Paul

 Hi All:

 I'm using apache 2.4.4 compiled on Centos 6.3 and attempting to use
 mod_auth_form for inline login with body preservation.

 The problem is that the POSTed body (from the original/unauthenticated
 page) is lost forever when the login page is rendered, so it seems
 impossible to know what to put for the value of the httpd_body variable.

 I have tried both a cgi and a mod_include based script.   I have

 KeptBodySize 65536

 along with one of

 ErrorDocument 401 /cgi-bin/login.cgi

 or

 ErrorDocument 401 /login.shtml

 How can I access the original POST data during the login page rendering in
 this scenario?

 It seems the fundamental problem is the ErrorDocument handler is
 discarding the POST during internal redirect...

Re: [users@httpd] filesmatch suspends AccessFileName?

 Hello,

 interesting thing here. Ist this a bug or expected?
 Apache is 2.2.23

 Costumer uses .htaccess which uses some SetEnvIfNoCase Directives to
 filter bad bots.
 the allow,deny directive is placed within a filesmatch directive.
 example:

 SetEnvIfNoCase user-agent hallohallo bad_bot=1

 FilesMatch (.*)
 Order Allow,Deny
 Allow from all
 Deny from env=bad_bot
 /FilesMatch


 The regex in filesmatch Directive is quite useless but this leads to the
 problem that .htaccess file can called by http in browser and shows all of
 its contents.

 http://example.com/.htaccess

 Seems to me quite simple for a user to disclose his .htaccess contents by
 simple filesmatch directive which suddenly ignores AccessFileName directive.
 Is this a bug or expected?

 Thanks,
 Hajo

Hello Hajo
Try this at the top level
Directory /further/up/tree
Files .htaccess
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
/Files
/Directory
or
Files .htaccess
 order allow,deny
 deny from all
/Files

What you've written makes logical sense and I would be allowed access to
.htaccess
All the best Paul

Re: [users@httpd] htaccess file and computer names

  I am using some htaccess files to control access to a few web pages.

 The htaccess file works if I use the ip address of the computer to grant
 access, but not its name.

 Is there another setting to enable for  “Allow from
 computername.domain.name” to work like using the ip address “Allow from
 ###.###.###.###” ?

 ** **

 Order deny,allow

 Deny from all

 Allow from computername.domain.name //this does not grant access

 Allow from ###.###.###.### //this grants access

 The computers and the server are all on the same network

 Thanks
