Bug#626820: busybox httpd is crippled: no cgi, no auth-md5, no encode url string
Package: busybox
Version: 1:1.17.1-8
Severity: normal
Tags: squeeze patch
busybox httpd lacks quite a lot of features. Some may not be necessary for
a small-footprint binary, e.g. reverse-proxy and support for sendfile. But
the following features may be considered elemantary:
- support for CGI
- support for MD5 digest uthentication
- encoding/decoding strings from/to url
Activating these is is quite easy: in debian/config/pkg/deb just set
CONFIG_FEATURE_HTTPD_AUTH_MD5=y
CONFIG_FEATURE_HTTPD_CGI=y
CONFIG_FEATURE_HTTPD_ENCODE_URL_STR=y
(see patch).
The size increase is negligible: Adding cgi-support increases the
/bin/busybox binary by only 4 Kb.
