[pkg-lighttpd] Bug#684793: lighttpd: [mod_proxy] Please make it possible to forward environment variables

Package: lighttpd
Version: 1.4.31-1

Hi folks,

unless I missed some docs, there's no way of forwarding environment
variables such as the SSL_* ones (which are set when one uses a client
certificate), through mod_proxy.

I've just submitted a patch upstream to add support for forwarding
environment variables (but not just those):
  http://redmine.lighttpd.net/issues/2434
  http://redmine.lighttpd.net/attachments/download/1379/0001-mod_proxy-Make-it-possible-to-forward-environment-va.patch

It looks to me like an important misssing feature in lighttpd, and might
be worth trying to get into wheezy (even if I won't be the one reviewing
the patch on the release team side, for obvious reasons).

Thanks for considering.

Mraw,
KiBi.
