http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31734 request: a command-line argument to produce a machine-parsable list of configuration dirctves, similar to 'apache -L' output Summary: request: a command-line argument to produce a machine- parsable list of configuration dirctves, similar to 'apache -L' output Product: Apache httpd-1.3 Version: 1.3.31 Platform: All OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: core AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello. I'd been hoping to write some software that would need to know "which Apache configuration directives are not 'server config'-only directives?" I'd remembered that the Apache directives manual contains such "context" information. This is nice, for a human reader. 'apache -L' also produces such information -- including (1) the configuration directive, and (2) a summary of the configuration contexts, in which the directive is valid -- but, this too is produced for a human reader. (Since it is produced with a systematic grammar, the 'apache -L' output should be parsable, too, but ... "there must be some other way") If there was a command-line argument (for the 'apache' command), which would produce something /like/ 'apache -L', but would produce it in a machine-parseable form (in a format, maybe, like that of "gpg --list-keys --with-colon") ... that should be immensely helpful. (Also, for directives such as <directory>, which must have a "closing delimiter": a reference to the appropriate "closing delimieter" could be included in the output, too, maybe) ...and if the machine-parsable output would be produced, simply, as plain text -- nothing buried in XML -- then that should be ... very, very helpful. (This is needed for an open-source project, at the point of: Something to help a user/admin to manage configuration directives for 'virtual host' entities. I could say more about the particular project, but there isn't much to show for it, yet.)
