[Bug 1534538] Re: AliasMatch directive does not accept long URI

Tue Jun 28 23:21:32 UTC 2016

I confirm that the debdiff supplied does fix the bug. In case anyone
wants to test it, there is a build of it here:

https://launchpad.net/~wesley-wiedenmeier/+archive/ubuntu/tmp

Test case used to verify:

Config:

ubuntu at ubuntu:/etc/apache2$ cat sites-available/alias.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
   AliasMatch ^/alias-test/ /var/www/html/index.html
</VirtualHost>

With old apache:

ubuntu at ubuntu:/etc/apache2$ curl localhost/alias-test/short_uri
<!doctype html>
<html>
<body>
<h1>TEST</h1>
</body>
</html>
ubuntu at ubuntu:/etc/apache2$ curl localhost/alias-test/very_loooooooooooooooooooo
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong_____uri                         
curl: (52) Empty reply from server                                             
ubuntu at ubuntu:/etc/apache2$ 

With new apache:

ubuntu at ubuntu:/etc/apache2$ curl localhost/alias-test/short_uri                 
<!doctype html>                                        
<html>                                                                        
<body>                                                                 
<h1>TEST</h1>
</body>                       
</html>                                                                
ubuntu at ubuntu:/etc/apache2$ curl localhost/alias-test/very_loooooooooooooooooooo
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong_____uri                       
<!doctype html>                                                                 
<html>                                                                        
<body>                                                                          
<h1>TEST</h1>                                                                 
</body>
