Should change sample printenv.pl in cgi-bin directory





------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2003-02-16 15:42 -------
This can't really be changed to html because of potential problems with
cross-site-scripting (XSS) that could allow people to steal cookies
and do other nasty things.

Unfortunately, those XSS problems exist on MSIE even with text/plain
because it can be tricked into interpreting the content as text/html.
But at least with text/plain, properly behaved browsers are not vulnerable.

My opinion is that it is too dangerous to be activating printenv.pl in
the default distribution.  It should be removed, or at least deactivated
with a big warning at the top.  Other Apache developers have never seemed
to really share my opinion, however.
