Package: apache2.2-common Version: 2.2.6-2 Severity: wishlist
I sporadically run into web sites with directory listing enabled but can't read large parts of the file names because the site hasn't configured IndexOptions NameWidth=* or some specific value for NameWidth. The problem is particularly severe when the directory being indexed is a download directory for some software, offering several versions of the software, each in several packagings (.deb, .rpm, .tar.gz, etc.); typically, all of the package file names have the same initial part, so the directory listing just shows lots of identical lines ending in ... and I have to hover to get the browser to tell me each name. Including NameWidth=* in the IndexOptions specified by the default autoindex.conf would solve this problem (albeit slowly, as web sites may take time to upgrade, especially sites which haven't gotten round to fixing this problem for themselves). -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-3-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.ISO-8859-15, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.ISO-8859-15 (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages apache2.2-common depends on: ii apache2-utils 2.2.6-2 utility programs for webservers ii libapr1 1.2.11-1 The Apache Portable Runtime Librar ii libaprutil1 1.2.7+dfsg-2+b1 The Apache Portable Runtime Utilit ii libc6 2.7-5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdb4.4 4.4.20-11 Berkeley v4.4 Database Libraries [ ii libexpat1 1.95.8-4 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libldap2 2.1.30.dfsg-13.5 OpenLDAP libraries ii libmagic1 4.21-4 File type determination library us ii libpcre3 7.3-2 Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expressi ii libpq5 8.2.5-4 PostgreSQL C client library ii libsqlite3-0 3.4.2-2 SQLite 3 shared library ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8g-3 SSL shared libraries ii libuuid1 1.40.2-1 universally unique id library ii lsb-base 3.1-24 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip ii mime-support 3.39-1 MIME files 'mime.types' & 'mailcap ii net-tools 1.60-19 The NET-3 networking toolkit ii procps 1:3.2.7-5 /proc file system utilities ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-8 compression library - runtime apache2.2-common recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
