DO NOT REPLY [Bug 50382] New: clarify how mod_env is used

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=50382

           Summary: clarify how mod_env is used
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.3-HEAD
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Documentation
        AssignedTo: docs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: calestyo@scientia.net


Hi.

Throughout the mod_env documentation
(http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_env.html), the general part and in
each directives, it's always described that "environment variables for CGI
scripts and SSI pages" are set/unset/passed.

As far as I understand it however, the env-vars are not only for these two but
generally the (internal) env-vars of apache (as set by SetEnvIf), which can be
used by any other directive (supporting it).

This should be reflected IMHO with a sort notice, e.g.:
"sets/unsets/etc. Apache's internal environment variables which are used by
some other directives and are for example passed on to CGI scripts and SSI
pages".


HTH,
Chris.

this is explained in "env.html" which is already linked to both env-related
modules.

I've added some hints to the two env-related modules that the internal
environment variables are what's being set, but the real scoop is still in
env.html

Yes I know that it's perfectly described there, but sometimes people just use
the documentation as reference and therefore I suggested this... mainly for
completeness and cosmetic reasons ;)

thx
