Bug#327193: mod_autoindex overrides the viewer's browser default colors
Package: apache-common
Version: 1.3.33-6
Severity: minor
File: mod_autoindex.so
mod_autoindex overrides the viewer's browser default colors, by
including bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000" without being asked do to so.
This is caused by the modifications hard-coded in the source file
apache-1.3.33/debian/patches/030_autoindex_studly
where it changes the original autoindex from the Apache Foundation.
The colors of the pages, including autoindex, should be the user's
preferred, or the webmaster's defined. I don't think Debian should
enforce its preferred colors to everyone.
Please leave the reader's default colors in autoindex, by removing these
bgcolor and text tags.
