Package: apache
Version: 1.3.9-13.1
Severity: normal

this is making my life difficult:

        /*
         * You really don't want to disable this check, since it leaves you
         * wide open to CGIs stealing passwords and people viewing them
         * in the environment with "ps -e".  But, if you must...
         */
#ifndef SECURITY_HOLE_PASS_AUTHORIZATION
        else if (!strcasecmp(hdrs[i].key, "Authorization") 
                 || !strcasecmp(hdrs[i].key, "Proxy-Authorization")) {
            continue;
        }
#endif

the reasons cited in the comment are bogus afaics (don't
run untrusted cgis, ps can't read other users' environments).

this should be removed, or made a configuration option.

You filled the bug http://bugs.debian.org/92052 in Debian BTS
against the package apache. I'm closing it at *unstable*, but it will
remain open for older distributions.

For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/418266. That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed and suggestions of possible replacements.

Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.

Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
