>Description:
Some variables in httpd.conf needs quoting, while quoting seems to be optional
for others.
Examples for vars that must be quoted:
--------------------------------------
root "/path/to/docroot"
tls certificate "/path/to/tls.crt"
tls key "/path/to/tls.key"
Examples for vars where quoting seems to be optional
----------------------------------------------------
Logfile-paths: log { access access.log, error error.log }
Listen-Interface: listen on 127.0.0.1
Servername: server myhost.tld
All mixed up
------------
HTTP-Auth-Line: Realm can be quoted, path to file with auth data must be quoted
e.g. authenticate Hello with "private/blabla"
>How-To-Repeat:
Set up httpd.conf like this
-----------------------
server "my.tld" {
listen on "127.0.0.1" tls port 443
authenticate "Hello" with "private/pw"
# Define server-specific log files relative to /logs
log { access "access.log", error "error.log" }
root "/htdocs/my.tld"
tls certificate "/etc/ssl/certs/my.tld.crt"
tls key "/etc/ssl/private/my.tld.key"
}
types {
include "/usr/share/misc/mime.types"
}
------------------------
- Run httpd -vvd -> Gives no errors
- Remove quotes from Logfile paths
- Run httpd -vvd -> Give no errors
- Remove quotes from root path or tls certificate path
- Run httpd -vvd -> Gives /etc/httpd.conf:<line-nr>: syntax error

Haven't read the source until now. So I don't know
