Re: Overriding base config setting for cacheroot in apache_1.3.*

[Gidon Wise <gi...@gidon.com>]

Hi Guys,

Currently it is impossible to override
a CacheRoot parameter to make it NULL if the
base parameter is NON NULL.

I will fix this, but I'd like to fix it in a way
that others can use. What is the proper convention
for overriding a config option from Non NULL to NULL?


The code for what I'm talking about is here:
In file mod_proxy.c in function merge_proxy_config
  ps->cache.root =                     \
     (overrides->cache.root == NULL) ? \
        base->cache.root :             \
        overrides->cache.root;

Make it so that the option can be set to some value, like "off", and if
the overriding cache definition contains "off" it should be set to NULL.
