Description Thilo Bangert (RETIRED) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-01-05 02:39:18 UTC
i may be missing something, but i found myself needing the following:

when running fastcgi applications, authorization data is only passed to the cgi application when SECURITY_HOLE_PASS_AUTHORIZATION is set.

the insecurecgi use flag could turn this on. like:

use insecurecgi && append-flags -DSECURITY_HOLE_PASS_AUTHORIZATION

feedback welcome.

GAPING_SECURITY_HOLE would be a better flag for this, not that'd we need this flag  in apache either... Doesn't EXTRA_ECONF work if someone _really_ wants this? If not, maybe it should. :)

CFLAGS="-O2 -march=<yourarch> -pipe -DSECURITY_HOLE_PASS_AUTHORIZATION" CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}" emerge whatever ;)
Won't add this to the main apache ebuild, too little use and too much potential for doing silly things. ;)
Best regards, CHTEKK.
