[Bug 64342] New: KeepAliveTimeout milliseconds on website, but seconds in conf file

https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=64342

            Bug ID: 64342
           Summary: KeepAliveTimeout milliseconds on website, but seconds
                    in conf file
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.4.38
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: docs@httpd.apache.org
          Reporter: f.ter.voorde@tervoorde.net
  Target Milestone: ---

Hi there,

Regarding the syntax of the directive KeepAliveTimeout, the documentation on
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/core.html states: "KeepAliveTimeout
num[ms]" and "Default: KeepAliveTimeout 5". This is about milliseconds, not
seconds.

However, in the apache2.conf file, I read:

"# KeepAliveTimeout: Number of seconds to wait for the next request from the
# same client on the same connection." and "# KeepAliveTimeout 5". This about
seconds, not milliseconds.

Of course I know what's the real unit, but I think this is confusing for new
users.

Yours sincerely,

Frank ter Voorde

[Bug 64342] KeepAliveTimeout milliseconds on website, but seconds in conf file

--- Comment #1 from Eric Covener <co...@gmail.com> ---
I clarified it in http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1876428
wdyt?

The [ms] meant optional and was described by the body of the directive:

"By adding a postfix of ms the timeout can be also set in milliseconds."

After the update the 'ms' is quoted in the body and the syntax section is maybe
a little more clear
