OK, I think I got it down to the bare minimum. The attached files live in
C:\Apache2\foobar on my Windows 2000 system. I run Apache 2.0.46.
The attached httpd.conf is intended to be Included at the end of the normal
httpd.conf. I keep my httpd.conf (mostly) 'stock' so there shouldn't be any
real issues there.
My HOSTS file defines:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 Scope.Doorways.home
which may be some or all of the issue. This is how I do testing (obviously,
since I'm using a non-standard domain name).
The mod_foobar.c file is a trivial module that just prints the handler name
and filename and DECLINEs. I've included a Makefile that works with my
version of Microsoft's C compiler, which is whatever comes with Visual
Studio 6.
When I run Apache and hit it with:
http://localhost/manual
my error log contains:
[Mon Jun 30 13:23:35 2003] [info] [client 127.0.0.1]
foobar_handler(foobar, localhost, C:/Apache2/manual/index.html.en)

foobar_handler(text/css, localhost,
C:/Apache2/manual/style/css/manual-loose-100pc.css),
referer: http://localhost/manual/
Hitting it with:
http://Scope.Doorways.home
gives me the appropriate index file (also supplied but irrelevant) and my
error log contains:
[Mon Jun 30 13:24:00 2003] [info] [client 127.0.0.1]
foobar_handler(foobar, scope.doorways.home,
C:/Apache2/foobar/index.html)
So the module is being invoked for the Apache manual pages even though they
are not defined in the virtual server block in which I added the handler.
This is what confuses me. I wouldn't think that this would happen.
I keep thinking that perhaps the fact that both domain names resolve to
127.0.0.1 via my HOSTS file could be confusing Apache. But they're named
virtual servers, so I feel like that _shouldn't_ be an issue since I'm
asking for different hosts via the browser. And the request record is
showing different hostnames in the log.
Anyway, I'm probably missing something simple in the configuration file.
