Hi,
I was about to commit a patch for mod_proxy.c, but around line 2230
> else if (!strcmp(cmd->path, "~")) {
> cmd->path = ap_getword_conf(cmd->pool, &arg);
> if (!cmd->path)
> return "<Proxy ~ > block must specify a path";
!cmd->path should be !cmd->path[0] because 'ap_getword_conf' does not
return NULL but an empty string, so the test can never be true.
However, I've searched in the doc to get explanation of this '~' in
<Proxy > block.
There is nothing about it.
Apparently <Proxy ~ xx> is equivalent to <ProxyMatch xx>
So, should we:
1) just leave it as it is.
2) remove this behavior, which has never been documented.
3) update doc.
My choice is 2) because
- it has never been documented, so it is likely that no one use it
- apparently it is equivalent to <ProxyMatch >
Your opinion ?
Best regards,
CJ
