mod_python bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated mod_python packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The mod_python packages provide a module to embed the Python language
interpreter within the Apache web server, allowing handlers to be written in
Python.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Prior to this update, the publisher module did not correctly handle certain
  authentication variables. As a consequence, the web server could return an "400
  Bad Request" error if the "publisher" handler was used with an authentication
  scheme other than "Basic". This update modifies the publisher.py code to handle
  the autentication as expected. (BZ#431684)
  

All users of mod_python are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
fix this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant
to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red
Hat Network to apply this update are available at
