Package: cgiirc
Version: 0.5.9-2
Severity: wishlist
On a server which hosts multiple websites, it is frustrating to have to
manually make copies of CGI:IRC with different hardcoded configuration
files for each site you want to provide with a chatroom. This is also a
security risk - a vulnerability could be patched on your package-managed
script, but not in the copies you have made.
This patch to parse.pl allows you to specify multiple configurations
using INI-style square bracketed headers which are pattern-matched
against the URI of the CGI:IRC script. I have tried submitting it
upstream but with no response from the maintainer.
