Presently, Apache::ReadConfig doesn't seem to provide a way to represent
the order of directives, which limits its usefulness when used with
modules like mod_rewrite that rely on the order of certain directives:
ServerName example.com
DirectoryRoot /www
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*) cgit.cgi/$1 [END,QSA]
This piece of configuration is (AFAIK?) impossible to create using
Apache::ReadConfig, because %VirtualHost and %Directory are unordered
hashes.
Assuming I'm correct about the problem, what could be done to fix it?
My personal idea is to create an additional module created
Apache::ReadConfig::Full (or something), which allows the following:
$Config->push(['VirtualHost', '*:80'] => block(
ServerName => 'example.com',
DirectoryRoot => '/www',
['Directory', '/www'] => block(
RewriteEngine => On,
RewriteCond => '%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f',
RewriteCond => '%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d',
RewriteRule => '(.*) cgit.cgi/$1 [END,QSA]'
)
);
The `block' function creates an object that amounts to an ordered,
multi-value hash a la Hash::MultiValue. (The global $Config variable is
the same type of object.)
Before I start looking into the possibility of creating such an
interface, I thought I'd ask here whether my assumptions about
Apache::ReadConfig's limitations are correct.
Best regards
John
