Bug#122513: ITP: libapache-mod-auth-useragent -- block access to parts of service based on user agent



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

Mod_auth_useragent adds the ability to block some parts of the web service to
clients using specific user agents, eg:
  <VirtualHost *>
      ServerAdmin root@localhost
      ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log
      CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common
      AuthUserAgentDeny *Mozilla*
  <Location /test>
	  AuthUserAgentAllow *Mozilla*
  </location>
  </VirtualHost>
Probably most popular use is to make it harder to dump the whole site with
wget or similar programs.
