Similar to EPEL and RHEL, this patch needs to be backported against mod_wsgi in Fedora 16 / rawhide

mod_wsgi patch

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #719409 +++

For the Pulp project (https://fedorahosted.org/pulp/), we need to be able to
access the http client's ssl certificate from within mod_wsgi.  We use the
client certificate to verify access to the various yum repos hosted by Pulp.

We've been using mod_python with a custom authentication handler that we set
with the PythonAuthenHandler apache config.  However, we want to move fully to
mod_wsgi since mod_python and mod_wsgi don't play nice together.

We can run an authentication script using the WSGIAuthUserScript configuration
for mod_wsgi.  However we need an additional patch from mod_wsgi upstream that
provides access to the client certificate in the implementing script that you
set with WSGIAuthUserScript.

The patch is changeset  1095:e1c09b0c8a2a in the mod_wsgi hg repository.  It's
only been applied for mod_wsgi 4.0, which hasn't been released yet.  I've
tested it, and the patch applies cleanly against version 3.2.  I've also attached the patch to this bugzilla.

More info about the patch on the mod_wsgi mailing list is here:

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

I'm closing this out as it turns out this was not needed by our project. Not sure what the current status of the issue is, so anyone interested would need to do further investigation.
