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.
