[PATCH] mod_log_config.xml

Hi,

| LogFormat format|nickname [nickname]

The first nickname there is completely wrong. Nickname resolving isn't
nested.

ok, that makes sense.

Little mistake there ;-) I think you meant LogFormat instead of
TransferLog.

I'm really trying to avoid any kind of complex formatting in the 
directive definitions (except in <usage>, of course), because that will 
make it easier to reuse this information in other formats.

Instead, I've just added a sentence to the <usage> info.  It's still not 
  incredibly clear, but it is more accurate.

Thanks for the heads-up on this.

Joshua.

Perhaps we can modify the syntax definition as below:

Syntax: LogFormat format|nickname
        LogFormat format [nickname]

Additionally the default should me mentioned inside the overview table:

Default: LogFormat "%h %l %u %t \"%r\" %>s %b" CLF
         LogFormat CLF

if this is ok, you may apply the attached patch ;-)

You're right.  The docs are not at all clear on that point and should be 
improved.

*grr* TransferLog works fine with that example (of course). Maybe the
docs have to be clearified at this point. I didn't think about
TransferLog (because I don't use it normally ;-) and tried: 

LogFormat yayada nick1
LogFormat nick1 combined
CustomLog logs/access.log combined

In this case the string "nick1" is logged at every request.
Sorry for confusion, I think, I'll go and look for my bed now... ;-)

Are you sure?  I haven't tested that (and I don't think it is a very 
useful feature), but if it doesn't work, then the docs have been wrong 
since 1997.

Are you saying that this doesn't apply the format yayada to subsequent 
Transferlogs?

LogFormat yayada nick1
LogFormat nick1
