[Bug 65092] New: probable error in ServerName documentation

https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=65092

            Bug ID: 65092
           Summary: probable error in ServerName documentation
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.5-HEAD
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: docs@httpd.apache.org
          Reporter: calestyo@scientia.net
  Target Milestone: ---

Hey.

mod/core.html#servername says:

"Additionally, this is used when creating self-referential redirection URLs
when UseCanonicalName is set to a non-default value."

However, this seems to be wrong.
The default value of UseCanonicalName is "Off", but the non-default value might
not be just "On", in which case the above sentence would be true, but also
"DNS", in which case "Apache httpd does a reverse DNS lookup on the server IP
address that the client connected to in order to work out self-referential
URLs".

So the sentence should be rather something straight forward like:
"Additionally, this is used when creating self-referential redirection URLs
when UseCanonicalName is set Off."


Cheers,
Chris.
