Win95a, Apache 1.3.4 binary
>Description:
Many directives do not allow comments after the directive and arguments, eg:
ScriptAlias /*/cgi-bin/ "C:/home/*/public_html/cgi-bin/" # comment here
This applies to at least the following which all gave errors:
listen, bindaddress, loadmodule, serveradmin, servername, options,
allowoverride, loglevel, customlog, scriptalias, </directory>, readmename,
headername, sethandler, order, </location>, namevirtualhost, documentroot,
scriptalias, </virtualhost>, etc., etc.
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
'ExtendedStatus on' directive gets:
Syntax error on line 97 of c:/internet/apache/conf/httpd.conf:
Invalid command 'ExtendedStatus', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not
included in the server configuration
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This message always occurs on restarting the server after ^C shutdown in the
console
box (does not occur with apache -k shutdown method).

>How-To-Repeat:
Self explantory.
>Fix:
Scan all directives for comments before parsing (if they can't contain a #).
If they can contain a #, then it gets more complicated.
