Add support for some of the sorting options commong to Unix ls: -S, -c, -t, -u, and -r
This changes the method, with which command-line is parsed in common_list, to allow arbitrary options.
The recognition for the following options is provided (in addition to -l): -S (sort by size, bigger files first); -t, -c, and -u (mtime, ctime, and atime respectively, more recent first); -r (reverse the sorting order).

An improved patch
This version cleans-up commented-out debugging code and makes the little number-comparison functions work even in cases, when the difference between the compared values could exceed INT_MAX.
I will need to confirm unknown flag behavior against a few other servers. The unknown flag behavior is really a minor aspect of the issue. If need be, the reaction to unrecognized flags can be a configuration option (ignore or error-out). But the actual (im)possibility to sort output is important enough for my client, for example, to now consider abandoning mod_ftp in favor of some other FTP-server... Please help us to refine our list of open and current defects; this is a mass update of old and inactive Bugzilla reports which reflect user error, already resolved defects, and still-existing defects in httpd. As repeatedly announced, the Apache HTTP Server Project has discontinued all development and patch review of the 2.2.x series of releases. The final release 2.2.34 was published in July 2017, and no further evaluation of bug reports or security risks will be considered or published for 2.2.x releases. All reports older than 2.4.x have been updated to status RESOLVED/LATER; no further action is expected unless the report still applies to a current version of httpd. If your report represented a question or confusion about how to use an httpd feature, an unexpected server behavior, problems building or installing httpd, or working with an external component (a third party module, browser etc.) we ask you to start by bringing your question to the User Support and Discussion mailing list, see [https://httpd.apache.org/lists.html#http-users] for details. Include a link to this Bugzilla report for completeness with your question. If your report was clearly a defect in httpd or a feature request, we ask that you retest using a modern httpd release (2.4.33 or later) released in the past year. If it can be reproduced, please reopen this bug and change the Version field above to the httpd version you have reconfirmed with. Your help in identifying defects or enhancements still applicable to the current httpd server software release is greatly appreciated. If mod_ftp works with httpd-2.4, than the problem is still there. |
