Bug ID: 64042
Summary: Extend documentation of FallbackResource to give an
example of usage
Product: Apache httpd-2
Version: 2.5-HEAD
Hardware: PC
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Documentation
Assignee: docs@httpd.apache.org
Reporter: apa...@springtimesoftware.com
Target Milestone: ---
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/en/mod/mod_dir.html includes documentation
for FallbackResource. In this documentation it gives the use case of a 'front
controller,' implying that redirecting to a single file using FallbackResource
allows that file to access the original URL specified by the user's request.
But the description does not explain how to obtain the original URL.
I suggest that the documentation would be more helpful if it explained how to
do this in various server languages, or at least in one.
For example, in PHP, the domain is available in $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] and the
original URL (except for any anchor portion) is available in
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'].
On my computer, I cannot contribute to the Comments section at the bottom of
the page to contribute this suggestion. That section is readonly, with no
explanation that I can find. So I am submitting this ticket.
I am submitting this for 2.5, but of course it applies to 2.4 versions as well.
I am hoping the documentation could be extended to help other developers.
