http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29310 Allowing only some options in .htaccess Summary: Allowing only some options in .htaccess Product: Apache httpd-2.0 Version: 2.0.49 Platform: All URL: http://dev.cs.huji.ac.il/~alsbergt/hacks/httpd-2.0.49- overrideopts.diff OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Core AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the URL noted is a patch I wrote to add an option "AllowOverrideOpts" to the directory context, which will specify which options are allowed to be overriden in .htaccess files (using AllowOverride you can only specify whether options may be overridden). That's useful for us, for example, since globally Indexes are disabled, but if someone wishes to, he can enable Indexes for his web page (and subdirectories) or whatever, while we don't want to let people change other options. This patch might not be fully complete or up to the Apache conventions, but I tried to write it as clean as possible given the time I have. Please tell me if there are problems with it. In the patch there is also very short documentation for this option. I only tested, with version 2.0.49, on FreeBSD 4.9, that without that option the default (previous) behaviour is still used (All), and that specifying it has the desired effect of only allowing those options to be overridden. Perhaps there are other things to test with it. I'd be glad to have this patch (or a variant of it) integrated, to save us from further patching of new versions, and so it might be useful to others as well. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
