Description Anssi Johansson 2012-01-02 19:35:42 UTC

The latest version of lighttpd in EPEL5 is currently 1.4.26-2, while the latest upstream version is 1.4.30 and the version in EPEL6 is at 1.4.28-3 (which is probably fine in this regard).

There appears to be a problem with Google Chrome POSTing data to a HTTPS webserver running an old version of lighttpd, resulting in an error page like http://support.opendrive.com/entries/20787912-error-logging-in-using-google-chome

More information about the problem can be found from:

I'd appreciate it if someone could update the EPEL5 lighttpd to a slightly newer version. Thanks for your consideration.

There is an update in testing, but it needs two more signed in users to approve it:

1.4.28-3.el5

The update was submitted to stable, therefore I consider this bug addressed.
