[modssl 2.7.0] bug in handling SSLSessionCache shm: configuration directive

[Charles-Edouard Ruault]

I just dowloaded and installed mod_ssl 2.7.0 and found a problem in the handling of the SSLSessionCache configuration directive :
- first ( not a bug, just a change ) the file name expected for a SSLSessionCache shm:file /shmht:file directive is now relative to apache's document root.
- second when bulding the path to the shared memory file, it does not strip out the : from the config directive resulting into a failure to allocate the shared memory segment.

here's a small patch that will fix this. ( go in SOURCE_PATH/mod_ssl-2.7.0-1.3.14/pkg.sslmod and run patch -p0 < ssl_engine_config.patch )

hope this helps.
regards
