Summary: Improve APR handling of case-insensitive file systems
Product: APR
Version: 1.2.7
Platform: All
OS/Version: other
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: APR
AssignedTo: bugs@apr.apache.org
ReportedBy: albegley@apple.com
Apache config directives within a <Directory> container normally apply with a case-sensitive match on
the physical directory name, but if the directory is actually on a case-insensitive volume such as Win32 or
Apple's HFS+, the filesystem will match any case variant. Hence if the browser asks for a case variant of
the actual name, the Require directives withn the <Directory> block will be bypassed. This known
exposure is typically addressed with an Apache module such as Apple's mod_hfs_apple, but it seems that
an appropriate abstraction with APR is the correct way to address this.

------- Additional Comments From wrowe@apache.org 2007-04-17 14:27 -------
Enhancements welcome. POSIX provides no context to solve these issues,
platform-by-platform solutions are the only viable means to improve this.
Demoted to P5 as this is already handled in all non-POSIX ports such
as Win32/Netware/OS2. POSIX filesystems are all case sensitive, where
a POSIX filesystem such as apple hfs or cygwin introduces case insensitivity,
the basic assumptions of POSIX are violated. The real solution here seems
to be to extend POSIX to account for this variance in a manner than APR
could accommodate it.
But per-platform patches are welcome.

This should go in STATUS unless there is some specific APR RFE which can be
tracker here.
