DO NOT REPLY [Bug 46830] New: Directive AllowEncodedSlashes seems not to be documented correctly

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=46830

           Summary: Directive AllowEncodedSlashes seems not to be
                    documented correctly
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.2.0
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#allowen
                    codedslashes
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Documentation
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: dennis.birkholz@nexxes.net


If "AllowEncodedSlashes On" is set in the global context, it is not inherited
by virtual hosts. You must explicitly set "AllowEncodedSlashes On" in every
<VirtalHost> container. I think this should be documented as it took me a while
to find that out!

It seems to me that the behavior of AllowEncodedSlashes is wrong.  The
documentation for how the different configuration sections are merged
(http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/sections.html) says "Sections inside
<VirtualHost> sections are applied after the corresponding sections outside the
virtual host definition. This allows virtual hosts to override the main server
configuration."

This sounds to me as if the configuration in the main server ought to apply to
the virtual host as well, unless overridden in the virtual host.

Comments?

I agree with you, Dan, that AllowEncodedSlashes does not work the way it should
according to the section merge order. But my primary intention is to document
the way AllowEncodedSlashes actually works.
The bug in the merge order can than be fixed later, i don't think this has a
high priority.
