Bug 152056 – [GTK] Cannot run http layout tests in Fedora 23 due to missing asis Apache module

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: WONTFIX
• Component: WebKitGTK

[Michael Catanzaro]

I cannot run any http layout tests because Fedora removed the asis Apache httpd module, which we use to force the contents of HTTP headers. We have to convince Fedora to put it back, or else be sad and add the web server to our jhbuild environment.

Found 43156 tests; running 38780, skipping 4376.

We have confirmation from Red Hat they will restore the asis module.
