I am also partly to blame for this as I worked on its code without taking care to extend the documentation accordingly. So it has a lot of "hidden" features and an less then optimal documentation. The following threads from dev in the past days are some examples: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/httpd-dev/200706.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/httpd-dev/200706.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/httpd-dev/200706.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] So Rich, Noirin if you want to work on this documentation this would be really great. Feel free to bug me with questions about it and I try to do my very best to help this way to improve the documentation.
