Re: mod_security for Apache

Jon,
Yes, that link describes how to compile module code into a *SRVPGM that
allows Apache to implement the module via the LoadModule directive.
In fact, that is the technique which I have used previously used to
implement a custom filter, with a bit of roll your own C code.

This would mean downloading and compiling the source code for
mod_security which I have not ruled out but I was endeavouring to avoid
tarballs and the like.
However, it would still be better if IBM was to provide the resulting
*SRVPGM along with PTFs when mod_security changes.

Since I kicked this baby off, perhaps I chime in here.

I don't wish to debate the merits of what IBM supports vs open source
etc,.
All I am interested in is to find what could be perceived as a
standard robust set of install instructions for Apache mod_security on

system- i.
Like, "We have it installed, works well and you can find the
instructions here".

I assume you already found this link but ... my IBM contact seems to
think it is the only "Official" IBM here's how-to-add-things page. At
least it contains specific compile instructions!
