DO NOT REPLY [Bug 52604] New: miss spelling

             Bug #: 52604
           Summary: miss spelling
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.2.21
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Documentation
        AssignedTo: docs <at> httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: kes-kes <at> yandex.ru
    Classification: Unclassified

# Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many
# of the server's control files begin with "/" (or "drive:/" for Win32), the
# server will use that explicit path.  If the filenames do *not* begin
-# with "/", the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so "/var/log/foo_log"
+# with "/", the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so "var/log/foo_log"

+# server as "/usr/local/var/log/foo_log".

Because you say: "If the filenames do *not* begin with "/"
BUT In example you prepend file name with '/'
  notice:  '-- so "/var/log/foo_log"'

--- Comment #2 from Rich Bowen <rbowen <at> apache.org> 2012-02-06 14:12:37 UTC ---
It's in httpd.conf.in and what's actually there is this:

# Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many
# of the server's control files begin with "/" (or "drive:/" for Win32), the
# server will use that explicit path.  If the filenames do *not* begin
# with "/", the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so
" <at> rel_logfiledir <at> /foo_log"
# with ServerRoot set to " <at>  <at> ServerRoot <at>  <at> " will be interpreted by the
# server as " <at>  <at> ServerRoot <at>  <at> / <at> rel_logfiledir <at> /foo_log".

So, I'd need to dig a little deeper to see what  <at> rel_logfiledir <at>  is supposed to
be, but based on the context I presume that it's supposed to be a RELATIVE
path, hence the name.

The thing is, depending on how one installs, it can never be certain that it's
going to be.

I think what happened here is that the example was a useful one with filler
values, and someone put in the variables where they weren't actually helpful,
thus breaking the example depending on ./configure options.

Does that make sense?

Hi.

Could you please share some light (and add to the documentation at
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_ssl.html#ssloptions if and how
mod_ssl's FakeBasicAuth feature works with the following:

a) Special characters
A certificates DN can contain basically _ANY_ character, including “:”, “/”, “
”, “"” or any weird Unicode character from any script.
As far as I can see this could affect us at least in the following places:
- user file
There at least the colon seems to have the special meaning of separating the
username from the password, e.g.:

Hi.

https://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/mod/mod_ssl.html#sslstrictsnivhostcheck
already describes the effect of having it set in default and non-default name
based vhosts.

Can you please describe the effect of setting it in server context (which is I
guess(!!) the same as setting it in all default name based vhosts).

Thanks,
Chris.

In the mod rewrite documentation available here...
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_rewrite.html

The text which reads as follows is subtly incorrect...

"Appends any query string created in the rewrite target to any query string
that was in the original request URL"

It should read something like...

"Appends any query string in the original request URL, to any query string
created in the rewrite target."
