I have this patch (attached) floating around that allows users to
configure a *fixed* UID for each vhost.
When I read the above sentence - with the emphasis on *fixed* my first
thoughts were not on httpd internals on how a (semi-)fixed ID is used
internally.
Sorry for what is probably (my) bad english, "fixed" meant "the same
after restart (or stop/start)".
I 'translated' it to mean - 'settable' (as a Directive) - and permanence
(restarts aka multiple sessions) and bound to the vhost.
Falls in the category of "don't want to know. Instead, my
initial reaction - this might be useful for having multiple UID - aka
"UserNames" or other sort of "external", UID.
And the U in UID meant Unique, not User :/
Then I think UUID - except you want it remembered over restarts - rather
than for a session.
I 'strongly dislike' naming things (i.e., I have a terrible coming up
with names I like). PID (Permanant) ID is also confusing. Maybe VHID
(Virtual Host ID), or UVID or longer UVHID).
However, if it is not for 'external use' - how does it help me? What
does it solve (ignorance is bliss!)? I got rather lost during the
internal focused discussion.
So I may not have choosen the right terms in the first place...
Maybe - but great new ideas come from confusion about what was initially
meant :)
