proxytunnel for Debian
----------------------

Until version 1.9.0-5 of proxytunnel, Debian had a patch to handle
buggy apache 2.2 installations in the form of the
-B/--buggy-encrypt-proxy patch, due to Jim Paris <jim@jtan.com>.
Users have had mixed success with this, though.

Beginning with version 1.9.0-6, this patch has been superseded with
one due to Thomas Hilber <Thomas.Hilber@enxio.de> (offered in
bug#691884) which offers the more general -W or --wa-bug-29774 switch.
The old -B switch is equivalent to -W -E, but -W can also be used in
conjunction with -X, which was not possible with -B.  The -B switch is
retained for compatibility purposes.


The alternatives, if they are possible, is to either use Apache 2.4,
which has been fixed in this respect, or to patch the Apache 2.2
installation, should Apache 2.2 still be required.  This will need to
be done for every release of Apache 2.2.

The patching of Apache 2.2 can be performed as follows on releases of
Debian up to Debian 7.x; later versions of Debian ship Apache 2.4,
which does not require patching.  These instructions assume that you
have the devscripts package installed.

1. Download the apache2 source (here, "$ " indicates the shell prompt):
   $ cd /tmp
   $ apt-get source apache2

2. Ensure that you have the required build dependencies installed:
   [as root:]
   # aptitude build-depends apache2
   [or: apt-get build-dep apache2]

3. Enter the apache directory and apply the patch:
   $ cd apache2-2.2.22
     # you may have to replace 2.2.22 with 2.2.xx if an updated 2.2
     # version is released
   $ export QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches
   $ quilt new 999_mod_proxy
   $ quilt add modules/proxy/mod_proxy_connect.c
   $ patch -p1 < /usr/share/doc/proxytunnel/mod-proxy.patch
   $ quilt refresh
     # ignore the "trailing whitespace" warning
   $ dch --nmu 'Apply mod-proxy patch'
     # this last command assumes that you have the devscripts package
     # installed

4. Build the package:
   $ debuild -us -uc

5. Now install the package.  My method is as follows.  First run:
   $ dpkg -l | grep 2.2.22
   This will list all of the currently installed Apache packages (and
   possibly some non-apache ones too), for example:

ii  apache2                                         2.2.22-6
   Apache HTTP Server metapackage
ii  apache2-doc                                     2.2.22-6
   Apache HTTP Server documentation
[...]

   Now as root, do the following:

   # cd /tmp
   # dpkg -i apache2_2.2.22-6.1_amd64.deb apache2-doc_2.2.22-6.1_all.deb ...

   where the packages listed on the dpkg -i line correspond to those
   you already have installed.

That's it!
