no, what I meant was that ken_extra.conf (httpd.extra.conf.in -> httpd.extra.conf) would get appended to the currently generated httpd.conf, then _that_ result is what is scanned. but maybe it's not as simple to change the internal logic to accomodate that. >> anyway I was just making a suggestion - it seems limiting to me not to >> have >> substitution in extra configuration files, > > > But that's exactly what Ken doesn't want.

I still don't see how the idea I'm proposing isn't sufficient, save that it would need to live within t/conf. that we could make it support variable substitution doesn't mean that it can't be 100% hard-coded. > >> or to be able to specify one kind >> of config file from the command line but not others. but it's not like I >> have the tuits to do anything about it now anyway, so I guess it stays >> as is :) > > > :) :) --Geoff
