Hi all,
A look at mod_alias shows it has 7 directives:
• Alias
• AliasMatch
• Redirect
• RedirectMatch
• RedirectPermanent
• RedirectTemp
• ScriptAlias
• ScriptAliasMatch
In theory we only need these three:
• Alias
• Redirect
• ScriptAlias
What I'm keen to do is enable expression support and deprecate all but the
above, with the following as the preferred configuration method (same as the
one used by ProxyPass):
<Location /foo>
Alias /var/lib/bar
…stuff...
</Location>
or
<LocationMatch ^/foo/(?<bar>[^/]+)>
Alias /var/lib/%{env:MATCH_BAR}/baz
…stuff...
</LocationMatch>
In theory this would be faster as we would not be scanning the list of Aliases
followed by the list of Locations each time, and things get a lot simpler to
use.
Thoughts?
Regards,
Graham
