Include directive in Apache is not parsed within current context

           Summary: Include directive in Apache is not parsed within current
                    context
           Product: Apache httpd-1.3
           Version: 1.3.27
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


With Apache, when you Include a file within, say, a <Directory> section, it is
not treated as if it is within the <Directory> section -- it is treated as if it
were just included into the main config.

I consider this a major bug; it means you can't have a sensible configuration
system. Because of this, I cannot include a file which defines how my auth
system works from within each <Directory> in which it is required (since the
Auth directives are not valid within the main config). This means massive
duplication of data, a situation that should (in my opinion) be avoided at all
costs.

I wish I could submit a patch for this, but at this point I can't, because I'm
busy as hell. Perhaps within the next week I may submit something. Otherwise, I
hope someone else will take this on.

And yes, I am aware that this could break a number of existing configurations...
if they're really stupid.
