[users@httpd] LocationMatch and DirectoryMatch regex

[Stefano Sasso <st...@gmail.com>]

Hi everybody, someone knows if is it possible to work with
regex-variables in LocationMatch or DirectoryMatch?

for exampe, I have this situation:

Alias /dav /srv/webhome

then every user can access via webdav on his own home dir only
<Location /dav/customer1>
...
DAV On
require user customer1
...
</Location>
<Location /dav/customer2>
...
DAV On
require user customer2
...
</Location>

is it possibile to have something similar, but with no need of
restarting apache every time a user is added?
is it possible to have something like:
<LocationMatch /dav/([a-zA-Z0-9]*)/>
...
DAV On
require user $1 # or something like this
...
</LocationMatch>

thanks
Stefano

thanks.
I've resolved using mod_rewrite. here the solution:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/(.*) /srv/web/%{LA-U:REMOTE_USER}/$1

<Directory /srv/web>
DAV On
Options Indexes
Options +FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
AuthType Basic
AuthName "WebDAV"
AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/vhost.dav
require valid-user
</Directory>

bye

No.  Sometimes you can use mod_rewrite to enforce similar
restrictions, but you can't, in general, use wildcards like that.
