[pkg-lighttpd] Bug#387066: lighttpd.conf eats /images

[Uwe A. P. Wuerdinger]

Package: lighttpd
Version: 1.4.11-2bpo1
Severity: important


While evaluating lighttpd for possibly replacing our apache(2) installitions
I noticed that the line

"/images/" => "/usr/share/images/"

in /etc/lighttpd.conf

was eating alle /images sub urls on all installations

so wikimedia, joomla and a couple of other web packages wern't working as
expected. Commenting out sayed line made lighttpd behave as expected (but breaks debian policy).

Looks like the alias rule works globaly for all hosts and not only for
localhost.

$HTTP["host"] == "localhost" {
        global {
                alias.url += (
                        "/doc/" => "/usr/share/doc/",
                        "/images/" => "/usr/share/images/"
                )
        }
        dir-listing.activate = "enable"
}
