Bug#416611: mailing list discussion

2007-03-30 Thread Carl Johnstone
On the mod_perl list it has been considered a DOS attack, and not an exploit. It's also only in Apache::PerlRun - so doesn't affect users using the more popular Apache::Registry (was fixed mid-2000). Nor does it affect users using pure-handlers. I'd also point out that the release also

Bug#272686: include mod_deflate with apache 1.3

2004-09-21 Thread Carl Johnstone
Package: apache Version: 1.3.31-5 Severity: wishlist Could this be included with the debian apache package? http://sysoev.ru/en/ It's an alternative to mod_gzip, which seems to be much more mature - it also links with zlib rather than including it's own version. Carl

2004-09-03 Thread Carl Johnstone
Can you give us the patch directly since you have it working? I'm actually a little concerned that it might break something else! I've been working with a clean (non Debian) apache source, so it's really an upstream problem. What is their policy regarding regular bugs in 1.3? Are they

2004-09-02 Thread Carl Johnstone
I've managed to track down why QUERY_STRING works and PATH_INFO doesn't. In src/modules/standard/mod_include.c around line 2181 mod_include fixes up the QUERY_STRING. If I add similar code to fixup PATH_INFO ie: if (r-path_info) { ap_table_setn(r-subprocess_env, PATH_INFO,

RE: Bug#243918: apache adds webmaster alias but forget newaliases

2004-04-15 Thread Carl Johnstone
I wonder if we should reassign this bug to all the MTA since some of the ship newaliases in /usr/bin and others in /usr/sbin (that apache uses). You don't need to run newaliases with exim - which is Debian's recommended MTA. How do other packages handle adding email aliases? Might be

No, they shouldn't! PATH_INFO '... holds the additional path information that remains after the URI has been translated into a file path.' [1] So, if your URI is 'http://site/test2.html' 1) URI to file translation: http://site/test2.html = {DOCUMENT ROOT}/test2.html 2) All

RE: Bug#233538: apache: dotfiles not skipped, scanning /etc/apache/conf.d

While you're at it ;-) please also skip files matching '*.dpkg-*'. That a good point - dpkg/apt etc will be dropping conffiles into /etc/apache/conf.d and -dpkg- files may be left behind due to this. Carl GMG Regional Digital is

Bug#229117: apache2-common: multiple instances of apache

2004-01-23 Thread Carl Johnstone
The security benefits of the experimental perchild module can be approximated by running multiple instances of apache2, you can't run two instances of apache on the same server using the same port as it's always been possible to run multiple copies of apache as different users, being able to

Bug#227997: mod_usertrack causes segfault

2004-01-16 Thread Carl Johnstone
Two separate apache installs both exhibit the same problem - one of which is a fairly clean re-install I did recently for testing purposes. I assumed it would be easy to reproduce :-) Just re-installed apache from scrach again, and apache exhibits the same problem - wierd! Carl

RE: sarge package transition

2004-01-05 Thread Carl Johnstone
Recently sarge has received a new version of perl but apache and mod-perl packages in sarge are old. Until the sid packages will not enter sarge there is no way for us to fix this problem since it is already fixed since a while in sid. We have no control over the package flow from sid to
