Package: bozohttpd
Version: 20050410-2
Severity: wishlist

I've been trying (and failing) to set up the 'apt-cacher' package** to
work  under 'bozohttpd'.  It'd help if bozo's docs had something about
whether it was possible or not***.  To avoid bloat I'd rather avoid
'apache'.

(**some texts claim 'apt-cacher' needs 'apache', but it's not presently
required in its .deb header -- maybe this bug should be moved or cloned
to that package.)

(***not quite the same as a package 'conflicts' field -- perhaps Debian
needs an "incompatible with" field for cases where certain types of
programs look as though they might work together, but for some reason
truly can't; and yet they don't stop the packages in question from
working with other related packages.)

Background:

    "If everything goes well, the path /apt-cacher on the web server should
    be accessible from any browser."

    - from 'Installing apt-cacher'
    http://taprobane.org/apt-cacher.php

Whereas bozo's man page says:

    "...all CGI URL's must begin with /cgi-bin/."

The URL formats seem to be incompatible.
