Description Tim Landscheidt 2013-03-11 21:24:27 UTC 
At the moment, the Apache configuration denies by "AllowOverride None" all local customizations with .htaccess.  This should be relaxed.

My use case is setting environment variables with "SetEnv" directives for CGI scripts; this needs assessment whether suphp can be rooted with that.
Comment 1 Marc A. Pelletier 2013-03-11 21:38:23 UTC 
Pending code review of the module startup code.  In principle, there should be no insurmountable problems.
Comment 2 Marc A. Pelletier 2013-03-13 14:06:10 UTC 
After review of the code, restrictions have been relaxed to:

AllowOverride AuthConfig FileInfo Options=IncludesNOEXEC

This still provides opportunity for foot-shooting with ill-considered SetEnv, but you get to shoot your own foot only.
