Bug#309721: libapache-configfile-perl: Fails parsing ServerAlias entry with trailing \ for continue to next line

[Jason Thomas]

Package: libapache-configfile-perl
Version: 1.18-3
Severity: important


The following entries causes a parsing problem:

entry 1:
ServerAlias domain \
domain domain \
domain \
domain

entry 2:
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache/ssl/FREESSL.webinc.linkinnovations.com.npkey



I added the following at line 252:
print "r - ", $r, "\n";


output 1 below:

r -  domain
r -  domain \

I think that the regex's on lines 251 and 252 could be written better. A
suggestion would be to use [^\s]*, which means not space multiple times.
