Hello all,

I'm in the process of putting together an rpm package of apache 1.3.11/mod_ssl
2.5.0 for local use, and have found a small problem with the mod_ssl configure
script: I need to pass a '--htdocsdir' argument to the apache config, but
mod_ssl is trapping this and interpreting it as a '--help' argument (which it
clearly is not).

The troublesome code is around line 106 of the configure script:

    --help|*--help|--help*|*--help*|-h|*-h|-h*|*-h*             ) help=yes; quiet=yes 
;;
    --quiet|*--quiet|--quiet*|*--quiet*|-q|*-q|-q*|*-q*         ) quiet=yes ;;
    --verbose|*--verbose|--verbose*|*--verbose*|-v|*-v|-v*|*-v* ) verbose=yes ;;

Assuming that anything matching the *-h* glob is a cry for help is, I think,
excessive, and clearly this can now cause problems for apache as of 1.3.11.

Is this list the appropriate place to talk about such concerns, or is there
someone else I should forward this to?

TIA,
