Bug#184792: apache-ssl: httpd.conf's comments re: HeaderName directive are incorrect



Package: apache-ssl
Version: 1.3.26.1+1.48-0woody3
Severity: normal

The stock httpd.conf contains describes the HeaderName directive thusly:

 # The server will first look for name.html and include it if found.
 # If name.html doesn't exist, the server will then look for name.txt
 # and include it as plaintext if found.

This describes the behavior for Apache 1.3.6 and earlier.  This URL:
 http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_autoindex.html#headername
describes the current behavior.

Basically, the directive requires a real filename; it won't appened
.html or .txt or anything.  If you want HEADER.html read, you have to
specify HEADER.html.
