Bug#233694: apache: mod_autoindex missing IndexOption IgnoreCase
Package: apache
Version: 1.3.29.0.1-3
Severity: normal
The documentation for mod_autoindex mentions the IgnoreCase option to
IndexOption, and explains if the option is enabled, filenames are sorted
in a case-insensitive manner.
However, using the option, for example:
IndexOptions FancyIndexing NameWidth=* IgnoreCase
gives an error like the following on apache restart:
Syntax error on line 563 of /etc/apache/httpd.conf:
IgnoreCase
After running 'strings' against mod_autoindex.so, then subsequently
examining the apache .orig.tar.gz, showed that the standard mod_autoindex
is not being used. Instead the mod_autoindex.c from apache-contrib-1.0.8a,
which lacks IgnoreCase, appears to be included.
My questions:
- Why are contributed, undocumented modules being used instead of the
standard ones?
- Could the standard mod_autoindex be included instead?
- How can I list files case-insensitively with the current Debian apache?
Cheers,
Andrew Greig
