Package: libapache2-mod-geoip Version: 1.2.7-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch
Hi, The module installs a file geoip.conf in mods-available, which by default enables GeoIP lookups serverwide; that is, for every request to this server a GeoIP database lookup will be done. This is not recommended by MaxMind and also not logical: a server may have many vhosts and only a small subset of hosts or paths may actually need the GeoIP information in the request. Therefore, it's much better to enable it selectively for those vhosts/locations/directories where it will actually be used. Here's a pull request to fix this issue: https://github.com/prachpub/libapache2-mod-geoip/pull/1 Cheers, Thijs -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.4 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=nl_NL.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=nl_NL.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
