Upstream bug: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54735 Fixed in 2.4.5, which is not out yet. This bug can be closed as fixed when 2.4.5 came out and entered the portage tree.
This bug is intended to be a blocker for Apache 2.4 stable request ( bug 468302 )
Created attachment 351406 [details] Proposed ebuild to fix critical bug in apache-tools-2.4.4
Created attachment 351408 [details, diff] Proposed patch to fix critical bug in apache-tools-2.4.4 Source of patch is https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54735
This appears to be a critical bug. When 2.4.4 is emerged into a working system, and changes are made to access control files using htpasswd, users are disallowed from accessing password protected resources via http. Once the change is made to a htpasswd file it can not be repaired except by finding a back-up copy of the unaltered file and restoring it. I have attached a proposed ebuild and patch file as a temporary fix to 2.4.4 until 2.4.5 is released. More information on the bug (and the source of the patch file) can be found at https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54735
Is this still an issue with apache-2.4.6?
