             Bug #: 51372
           Summary: httxt2dbm does not remove map entries
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.2.17
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: support
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: dan+apachebugs@cabnumbers.com
    Classification: Unclassified


The httxt2dbm program will not delete entries from the map that are no longer
present in the source text file. This behaviour is not obvious from the man
page ("httxt2dbm is used to generate dbm files from text input") and should be
clearly documented or fixed appropriately.

To demonstrate:

# echo -e 'fookey\tbarvalue' | httxt2dbm -i - -o foo.map
# strings foo.map 
barvalue
fookey
# echo -e 'newkey\tnewvalue' | httxt2dbm -i - -o foo.map
# strings foo.map 
newvalue
newkey
barvalue
fookey
