Hello all,
While doing a little testing with apache based authentication, I noticed
a little problem I wanted to report. It does not seem to exist in 2.0b5,
but does happen in 2.0b7.
Quick server stats:
Apache 1.3.22
perl 5.6.1
mod_perl 1.26
Using 'Basic' Authentication (via a file) according to the following:
AuthUserFile /path/to/somewhere/.htpasswd
AuthName TestAuth
AuthType Basic
<Limit GET>
require valid-user
</Limit>
Without any authentication, the embperl code works under both versions.
Placing this in a '.htaccess' file and allowing these files to override
the necessary configs:
no embperl -- works as expected
2.0b5 -- works as expected.
2.0b7 -- Apache Segfaults.
Initially, I get the usual 401 Auth Required, but after
providing a successful user/pass pair, it segfaults.
No info in embperl.log (EMBPERL_DEBUG 10477), and the browser
just reports no data.
Adding this to the httpd.conf file in a 'Location' block (with all the
Embperl configs) and disabling the .htaccess files:
no embperl -- works as expected
2.0b5 -- works as expected.
2.0b7 -- also works as expected (no more segfault)
When I leave the '.htaccess' files enabled in the httpd.conf, but
actually remove the '.htaccess' file -- 2.0b7 does not work either.
Nothing too terrible, as there is an acceptable work around and I do not
like to use .htaccess files for production, but I thought it might be
helpful to note.
