Re: [users@httpd] httxt2dbm - DB file not completely rewritten

Hi Rainer,

I have the same issue ... 5 years later ;) with Apache 2.2.22, and even
with Apache 2.4.10.

Did you get an explanation (or I will raise an issue).

Thanks
Antoine.

Re: [users@httpd] httxt2dbm - DB file not completely rewritten

Posted by Antoine Prevosto <an...@gmail.com>.
Finally, I found that an issue was raised :

Bug 51372 httxt2dbm does not remove map entries
<https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=51372>

It was solved by a documentation update in Apache trunk.

As a matter of fact, the Apache 2.4 documentation says :

If the output file already exists, it will not be truncated. New keys will
> be added and existing keys will be updated.


Apache 2.2 documentation was not updated yet.
