Ok, so I am using apache 2.2.17 on an Ubuntu (Natty Narwhal) box.
I need to apply a patch (mod_proxy_connect-2.2.16.patch) which I downloaded from https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=26225&action=edit
however I have never done this before. I have no clue as to how to do it. It seems that I needed to recompile apache, but I cant even find the right packages (apt-get install apache2-src doesnt find anything).
Can anyone help me/ guide me in doing it? Thank you very much.

Download the source package and build dependencies:
Apply the patch to the source:
Build the debian package:
List the currently installed apache2 packages:
Install the appropriate newly built packages (all the packages listed in the previous step) and restart apache:
