Bug#298772: w3c-markup-validator: Supplied Apache-configuration insufficient for, Authorization proxying
tags 298772 -patch thanks mate ! Hi Adam, I just realised that I have not left any note in the Debian BTS about the bug you reported, even though I have mentioned it in the version of the package that got uploaded several months ago. Sorry about that. So, if you have not seen the note, I am reluctant to turn mod_rewrite on by default on a user's installed Apache server. I have added your little snippet of code to the documentation, so that users can make the change manually if needed. This does not really solve the problem, so closing the bug may not be a good idea (except if you want so), neither would tagging it wontfix (I won't use your solution, but the bug may be fixed in another way). I will probably forward it to upstream to see if a complete fix can be found. In the meantime, I'll remove the patch tag, since its content has been integrated in the package's documentation. All the best, Frederic -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I haven't noticed it, but I agree with your assessment - so from my point of view your solution fixes the bug. Thanks for taking care of it!

Bug#298772: w3c-markup-validator: Supplied Apache-configuration insufficient for Authorization proxying
Package: w3c-markup-validator
Version: 0.6.7-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
The Apache-configuration supplied by this package is insufficient for
validating pages that require http-authorization.
The check script attempts to proxy the auth-request (the browser
pops up a login/password dialogue), but fails (the dialogue keeps
appearing over and over despite correctly entered login/password).
The problem is that the script expects the environment variable
HTTP_AUTHORIZATION to contain the contents of the Authorization-header
(see line 1408 in /usr/lib/cgi-bin/check). It does not by default.
By searching a little I've found an easy way to set this using
mod_rewrite, as shown in this tiny patch:
