Description
From as far back as revision 2078 to the time of this posting, there's been a FIXME note in source:/trunk/trac/web/api.py mentioning that administrators should be able to disable hdfdumps.
As far as I can tell, this issue was first brought up back in comment:ticket:51:6 but there was never any followup.
I do find it disturbing that anyone can visit any installation of trac, and regardless of the permissions afforded to the anonymous user, can append ?hdfdump=1 to obtain a good amount of sensitive information. http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/?hdfdump=1

I've found that by commenting out lines 326-329 in source:/trunk/trac/web/api.py@5556#L326 and altering the whitespace on line 330 appropriately, I can disable hdfdumps in the case of a permission error, which solves my problem at the moment, namely:
If I've removed all permissions granted to anonymous, I want to make sure that anonymous cannot execute an hdfdump.
Still, it would be useful to build an option into the trac.ini file or something.
