Package: apache2.2-common
Version: 2.2.3-4+etch4
Severity: important


I have a website which for historical reasons has lots of urls
given with the wrong case (files were stored on a case-insensitive
filesystem in the past).

With sarge and apache 2.0.54, mod_speling hid the problem.

For example, for a correct partial urls like:

	/aaa/BBB/ccc/ddd.html

request to apache for wrong-case versions like:

	/aaa/bbb/ccc/ddd.html
	/aaa/BBB/ccc/Ddd.html
	/aaa/BBB/CCc/Ddd.html

would helpfully result in a (chain of) 301 to the correct url.

With etch and apache 2.2.3, this is no longer the case.
Only corrections to the part after the final slash take place.
For example, "/aaa/bbb" gives a 301 but even "/aaa/bbb/" gives a 404.


This change is not helpful. I considered giving the severity as
"grave" since the new behaviour causes loss of access to data.

You have filed a bug against the Debian Etch version of apache2. The 
bug is fixed in Debian Lenny but was not considered severe enough to 
warrant an update in Debian Etch. Since the support for Debian Etch 
has ended, I am closing the bug now.
