Package: lighttpd
Version: 1.4.30-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch upstream forwarded-upstream

Hi.

Please apply the following trivial patch.
It changes current behavior nicely handling cases where requested files
have names too long, instead of throwing HTTP 500 Error (Internal Server
Error).

It's important to remark that this is a proper behavior. Other httpd's
out there also throw 4xx errors in this cases too, like Apache (403) and
nginx (404).

Find upstream report here[1].


Please consider applying it.



Cheers,

Dererk
