I will continue to look into this to see if there's something we should do to change this, so you can use an array. But there are trade-offs here that make no option perfect. If we use an array, you can't export it, and if you unintentionally set a scalar when we expect an array, we might not parse it correctly. If we expect a scalar and split it on IFS, then that could be a huge problem for quoting, requiring a bunch of convoluted quoting escapes, and assumptions about how the args are flattened when our script uses the environment variable. There's a good chance that the best option is to leave it as-is, and interpret it as a single scalar, requiring users to put multiple arguments into a script as suggested above. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
