Hello to all,

in https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=44262 I was told
to ask about this issue on [EMAIL PROTECTED] but there was no
answer so I'll ask here wat's the desired behaviour.

In apache 1.3/2.0 there was no selection of whitch options can or
can't be set in .htacess files.

At some point in 2.2.x AllowOverride Options=[option1,...] was
introduced. But I think it's a litle broken now.
It was supposed to provide finegrained controll of which options one
can set in .htacess files.

First keyword 'All' isn't really all avaiable options. There are also
OPT_INCNOEXEC,  OPT_SYM_OWNER, OPT_MULTI which can be set in Options
command in .htacess
(http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#options).

What can be overriden in .htacess files depending on AllowOverride
directive and apache version.

AllowOverride    |               1.3/2.0.x                  |              2.2.x
-----------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
'Options'            | All + Multiviews and 2 others  |  only All
'Options='          |                 n/a                           |
All + Multiviews and 2 others


It bit me hard once because somehow Options Multiviews stoped to work.

I'm not sure what AllowOverride Options= should mean, beside a syntax error.

Please tell me what you think about it, and what desired behaviour
whould be so I can giveup or file a separate bug.
