Bug#835191: O: libapache2-mod-encoding -- Apache2 module for non-ascii filename interoperability

[Tatsuki Sugiura <sugi@nemui.org>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I intend to orphan the libapache2-mod-encoding package.

This package is provieded to support WebDAV with Japanese encodings
mainly. However I guess that the package is not used currently.
And I have no time to maintain the package, sorry.


The package description is:
 This module improves non-ascii filename interoperability of
 apache (and mod_dav).
 .
 It seems many WebDAV clients send filename in its platform-local
 encoding. But since mod_dav expects everything, even HTTP request
 line, to be in UTF-8, this causes an interoperability problem.
 .
 I believe this is a future issue for specification (RFC?) to
 standardize encoding used in HTTP request-line and HTTP header,
 but life would be much easier if mod_dav (and others) can handle
 various encodings sent by clients, TODAY. This module does just that.
