SetEnv doesn't seem to work inside <Files>

           Summary: SetEnv doesn't seem to work inside <Files>
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.0.44
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: Other
         Component: mod_cgi
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jhmark@xenops.com


When I put a SetEnv directive inside a <Files> section which identifies a CGI
script, the environment variable is not set when the script is run.
If I move the SetEnv into a <Directory> section for the directory the script is
in, then it works as expected.

Example:
Create directories htdocs/dir1, htdocs/dir2.  
Copy test.sh (see below) into htdocs/dir1 and htdocs/dir2, make it executable.
Put example text into your httpd.conf (see below).
Go to http://localhost/test1 ... note that the value of FOO is shown as empty.
Go to http://localhost/test2 ... note that the correct value is shown.

-------------------- here is test.sh
#!/bin/sh
echo Content-type: text/plain
echo
echo value of FOO environment variable is: $FOO
-------------------- here is what to put in httpd.conf
ScriptAlias /test1 /YOURPATH/htdocs/dir1/test.sh
ScriptAlias /test2 /YOURPATH/htdocs/dir2/test.sh
<Files /YOURPATH/htdocs/dir1/test.sh>
    Options ExecCGI
    SetEnv FOO value_of_foo
</Files>
<Files /YOURPATH/htdocs/dir2/test.sh>
    Options ExecCGI
</Files>
<Directory /YOURPATH/htdocs/dir2/>
    SetEnv FOO value_of_foo
</Directory>
