Hey folks o/~
>From an IRC conversation in #httpd and #httpd-dev emerged the
idea to interpolate %{variables} in all directives.
According to sf we have somewhere a ~10 line code fragment
which does that without much overhead (not benchmarked) when
interpolating and with hardly any (short-circuit) when not.
I think it would be a good idea to allow for this to be used
in all directives (across all modules) it makes for immensly
more readable configurations because:
Example:
# default vhost redirecting every HTTP vhost to HTTPS:
<VirtualHost *:80>
Redirect / https://%{HTTP_HOST}/
</VirtualHost>
Another example might be something "more advanced" like:
# group specific authorization:
<LocationMatch "^/(?P<group>[^/]+).*">
Require group %{group}
</Location>
So long,
