[PATCH] - Userdir broken in Apache 1.3.16 for NetWare...

[Brad Nicholes <BN...@novell.com>]

The Userdir module is currently broken in Apache for NetWare.  I have submitted a patch for this previously but I can't get anybody to check it in.  The problem boils down to how canonical paths are resolved in the NetWare dependant code.  The fix is a very simple one and also takes care of some annoying side effects when ambiguous paths are declared in the HTTPD.CONF file.  I would really like to see this patch added before the next version is released otherwise MOD_USERDIR will continue to be a useless feature in Apache for NetWare.

thanks,

Unless anyone objects, I will commit this in two hours, to provide Brad some
time to check out the clean tree and test that it applied correctly

Brad,

  very nice patch ... affects only the Netware code path.  Note the first part
in http_main.c was nearly applied before (I notice you added the chdir after I
reviewed and applied that part of the patch some time ago.  Check it closely.)

  Please, though it won't break anyone else, please ack that you are able to
perform a clean checkout, build, and run (and if you report that the userdir
problem is gone, I'll close the two PR's with invitations to grab the forthcoming
1.3.17 version.)
