Bug#307798: apache: Could this be escalated, please?

Package: apache
Followup-For: Bug #307798


Hi,
it's a pity that this problem persists, as it breaks functionality of many common web applications, and does not match expected behaviour.

This also seems to be an easily fixable bug.

I propose to keep the 'icons' alias as it it, but to comment out the 'images' alias in httpd.conf. This may break the design of the default apache page (I haven't checked), but that'd be better than breaking applications. A note should be added to README.Debian.

Thanks in advance,
Moritz
