Subject: /usr/bin/htdigest: noninteractive use of htdigest

Date: Mon, 29 Aug 2005 17:56:25 +0700

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: apache2-utils
Version: 2.0.54-4
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/bin/htdigest
Tags: patch


In some cases it may be useful to manage digest files noninteractively.
The attached patch prototypes a way of doing that (well, it works, but
it doesn't use APR as extensively as it probably should).  It adds an
option "-f" that causes the new password to be read from a file--or from
stdin if "-" is used as a filename--without prompting for confirmation.

Some minor cleanups were necessary; all argv "arithmetic" is in one
place now, as is reading of the actual password.  Some buffer copying of
command line arguments looks like it may be unneeded, but I left it in
place to reduce the risk of screwups.
