[Bug 470080] Re: FCGIWrapper breaks without optional argument 'suffix'

[cmillard]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: libapache2-mod-fcgid
  
- The documentation for the FCGIWrapper directive clearly states that the
+ The current documentation for the FCGIWrapper directive states that the
  'suffix' parameter is optional.  However, upstream previously had a bug
  where without the 'suffix' field, the directive would fail.
  
  Documentation:
  http://httpd.apache.org/mod_fcgid/mod/mod_fcgid.html#fcgidwrapper
  
  Apache Error:
  Syntax error on line 23 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/[redacted].vhost.conf:
  Invalid wrapper file extension
  
  Not using a suffix makes sense for those of us who want to do our own
  request handling using virtual URLs that map to resource names, not
  actual files on disk (e.g. RESTFUL).
  
  I cannot use fcgid as it exists in Ubuntu.
  
  Fortunately, upstream developed a patch:
  http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/httpd-cvs/200909.mbox/%3C20090911192639.6DDA82388874@eris.apache.org%3E
  
  I would like to see the Ubuntu version of fcgid upgraded to the ASF
  release (http://httpd.apache.org/mod_fcgid/mod/mod_fcgid.html#upgrade)
  and/or a patch included to fix this issue (I'm unsure whether the svn
  commit I linked is in the latest ASF version).
  
  Info:
  Release: 8.04 LTS (server)
  Package: libapache2-mod-fcgid;  Installed: 1:2.2-1
  
  Many thanks!!
