[Bug 65078] New: Protocol directive vs. Listen directive defaults

https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=65078

            Bug ID: 65078
           Summary: Protocol directive vs. Listen directive defaults
           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.

In mod/core.html Listen says it defaults to https for 443 and http for
everything else.

However, the protocol directive claims http would only be assumed for port 80.

AFAICS from the sources, these are identical wrt the protocol, so shouldn't it
also default to https for all but 443?

If so, please adapt the docs :-)

Cheers,
Chris.

Yes, sorry for the confusion.


Perhaps the "Protocol" directive should be removed altogether... not only is it
confusing with the "Protocols" directive... it also intersects with "Listen"...
and opens questions like:
- to which addr:ports does it actually apply (e.g. if there are several in the
<VirtualHost>... and maybe some of them even in multple vhosts with different
"Protocol" set.
- which one wins if both, "Listen" and "Protocol" is set


Thanks for the update to the docs, though :-)

Chris.

Do you mean "http" here?

Can we -not- do a thing just because it has the word 'security' in its
name?  Complicating the user experience for what should not be a safe
assumption is less than ideal.

I've copied the Listen paragraph to Protocol replacing the beginning with "this
directive..."
