I think we should start stripping those special cases from A-T. Same
goes for filters which magically figures out which filter handler to
register.


I think I follow what you're talking about - like for
hooks/TestHooks/authz.pm the PerlAuthzHandler is automatically added to
httpd.conf even though it's not in the final config in __DATA__?

correct. And if you rename that phase to some other name it's will try to add some bogus handler name instead.


personally, I always found this (single) bit of automagic very, very
confusing.  so +1 to remove that bit and just require that __DATA__ be the
config that you want.

Cool

what about the other thing I have mentioned? t/response vs. special t/hooks/TestHooks (protocols and filters?)

is there more that <NoAutoConfig> suppresses?

There is a lot more, but at most other places, it works fine and saves a lot of typing and maintenance. So normally you won't need to disable autoconfig.
