Description Robert Bost 2016-09-02 17:53:16 UTC

Description of problem:
mod_security is shipped with JBoss Web Server 3.x which has a build for RHEL 6. There is a feature in mod_security which parses request bodies with a JSON Content-Type but this feature requires yajl 2.x. 
Curerntly, JBoss Web Server 3.x's mod_security is not built with the JSON support since only yajl 1.x is available on RHEL 6. 

Could we update the yajl shipped with RHEL 6 to 2.x?


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 
yajl-1.0.7-3

Comment 2 Daniel Berrangé 2016-09-05 10:06:37 UTC

yajl 2.x is not ABI / API compatible with yajl 1.x, so we cannot update this in RHEL-6.

If JBoss needs yajl 2.x, then best bet is for it to bundle a private build in its RPM.
