Bug#300228: RFA: libapache-authcookie-perl -- Apache/mod_perl Authentication and Authorization via cookies

[Jeroen van Wolffelaar]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

The current maintainer of libapache-authcookie-perl, Michael K. Edwards,
has this package up for adoption.  If you want to be the new maintainer,
please get in contact with the maintainer first. Note: the correct current
Email address is m.k.edwards@gmail.com, the @sane.net one doesn't work
anymore.

It might be a good idea if the PERL group would be interested in adopting this
package.

Description: Apache/mod_perl Authentication and Authorization via cookies
 This package contains a Perl module, Apache::AuthCookie, which can be
 used to simplify the creation of mod_perl based web sites that require
 user authentication.  This module is used by various Web application
 frameworks written in Perl.
 .
 Apache::AuthCookie allows you to intercept a user's first
 unauthenticated access to a protected document. The user will be
 presented with a custom form where they can enter authentication
 credentials. The credentials are posted to the server where AuthCookie
 verifies them and returns a session key.
 .
 The session key is returned to the user's browser as a cookie. As a
 -- 
 cookie, the browser will pass the session key on every subsequent
 accesses. AuthCookie will verify the session key and re-authenticate
 the user.
