Package: busybox Version: 1:1.17.1-8 Severity: normal Tags: squeeze patch busybox httpd lacks quite a lot of features. Some may not be necessary for a small-footprint binary, e.g. reverse-proxy and support for sendfile. But the following features may be considered elemantary: - support for CGI - support for MD5 digest uthentication - encoding/decoding strings from/to url
Activating these is is quite easy: in debian/config/pkg/deb just set CONFIG_FEATURE_HTTPD_AUTH_MD5=y CONFIG_FEATURE_HTTPD_CGI=y CONFIG_FEATURE_HTTPD_ENCODE_URL_STR=y (see patch). The size increase is negligible: Adding cgi-support increases the /bin/busybox binary by only 4 Kb. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: armel (armv5tel) Kernel: Linux 2.6.31.8 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages busybox depends on: ii libc6 2.11.2-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib busybox recommends no packages. busybox suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
