Bug ID: 70094
Summary: RewriteCond Directive: Environment variables confused
with server variables (“Most are documented in […] the
Environment Variables doc”)
Product: Apache httpd-2
Version: 2.5-HEAD
Hardware: All
URL: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/en/mod/mod_rewrite
.html#rewritecond
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: P3
Component: Documentation
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
The RewriteCond Directive section of the mod_rewrite reference documents which
forms its first argument takes and mentions server variables in an unordered
list of 4 items. The explanation of server variables contains:
> These variables all correspond to the similarly named HTTP MIME-headers, C
> variables of the Apache HTTP Server or struct tm fields of the Unix system.
> Most are documented in the Expressions doc, in the Environment Variables doc,
> or the CGI specification (RFC 3875).
This confuses environment variables with server variables. As
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/en/env.html#url-rewriting explains:
> The %{ENV:variable} form of TestString in the RewriteCond allows
> mod_rewrite's rewrite engine to make decisions conditional on environment
> variables. Note that the variables accessible in mod_rewrite without the ENV:
> prefix are not actually environment variables. Rather, they are variables
> special to mod_rewrite which cannot be accessed from other modules.
>
By the way, “struct tm fields of the Unix system” is not particularly clear.
