I remember my first steps with http and Apache. UseCanonnicalName has been one of the directives, I did not understand for a long time. I did not know how to test the different settings and did not understand their meaning (Yes, I have been a real newbie ... a very long time ago *g*) But I remember that I thought a lot about, how to set it. I thought, "it is listed in the default conf, so it must be important and I should decide its setting". Well, imho UseCanonicalName is a directive to confuse new users. The default setting is fine. And it will also be fine, if we change it, because we will have a good reason then, won't we? +1 to kick this this directive from our default conf. Kess
