           Summary: Cannot include varying canned sequences of directives
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.1-HEAD
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Core
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: vesely@tana.it


Various features require non-trivial sequences
of configuration directives to work correctly,
e.g. authorizations or rewrite rules.

Sometimes "Include" directive is handy. However,
for virtual hosts it is likely that some keyword
must be altered on a per host (or per directory)
basis. The solution is to use variables that one
assigns before including the file...

I'd propose to augment "Include"'s syntax to be

   Include file-path|directory-path|'|' pipeline

for example:

   Include |sed 's/@@KEYWORD@@/immediate_value/g' conf/generic.conf

where anything after the '|' is sent to a shell
-after chdir(ServerRoot)- whose output is then
parsed as a regular include file.

Cool? Should I submit a (tentative) patch of
ap_process_resource_config?
