Change another module's setting

[Marc Stern <ma...@approach.be>]

How is it possible to modify another module's setting, like, for 
instance, the content of a 'SSLDirConfigRec' structure (from mod_ssl) 
from another module ?

Thanks

And you will need the same key for get config as the module uses,
which generally use the foo_module structure as their key.  You need
to inspect the other module's source to determine this.

1. There's no general API for it.
2. But a module may export an API for such things.
3. And if it doesn't, you can still cheat by manipulating its
   internals directly.  That of course is at your own risk:
   you'll need to declare your module as tied to an exact version.
