>As a simple alternative to the solution in bug 9949 or just as an
>additional measure, this patch adds a rewrite rule for intranet
>in order to intercept potential misuse of perl scripts that could be
>reached on a dev package install via the cgi-bin/koha scriptalias.
>
>It simply rewrites them to the nonexistent "notfound", resulting in a
>regular 404 error.
>
>The rewrite rule does not harm regular installs and is just a little extra
>step in securing a dev install. You should have more security measures in
>place to secure your staff client.
>
>QA Note: Although a rewrite rule may not be our first choice, this one
>rule is more elegant and easier to maintain than e.g. a whole bunch of
>aliases.
>
>Note: This patch should have a regular and a dev install signoff.
>
>Test plan:
>[1] Make sure that this rewrite rule is inserted in your actual apache
>    config via /etc/koha/apache-shared-intranet.conf. Restart Apache.
>[2] For regular package installs:
>    Try one of the URLs in step 3.
>    Verify that your staff client still operates as usual. Test a few
>    URLs inside some modules.
>[3] For dev installs:
>    Try some URLs like below.
>    Expect 404 errors only, not 500s. If you do not see a 404, go back!
>    /misc/stage_file.pl
>    /t/db_dependent/default_search_class.pl
>    /installer/data/mysql/updatedatabase.pl
>    /Makefile.PL
>[4] Do you see an additional directory to add to the regex? Please report.
