BTW, I never got any response (not even a "patches welcome") to my first email on this list suggesting some changes (5/13). I'm very sorry. I can only say that either we were distracted, or, more likely, in this case, nobody was 100% certain what to make of the patch. I, for one, have never even considered using ProxyPassMatch inside a LocationMatch. Is there a reason that you'd not just use a single ProxyPassMatch that incorporated both patterns? I presume there's a use case for this, but it seems that it would add an unwanted additional layer of complexity. Is this something we want to encourage by documenting it? You would use ProxyPassMatch inside a LocationMatch because you want to proxy inside a LocationMatch and ProxyPass doesn't do it as expected. There aren't two patterns being matched, only one - the pattern from LocationMatch is used for the inner ProxyPassMatch pattern just like a Location path would be used for an inner ProxyPass. I spent some time testing to figure this out for a customer - just thought others could benefit. Improvements to my wording are of course appreciated. 2) Submit an actual patch to the mailing list 3) Open a ticket in bugzilla. Perhaps this would be a good time to point out I have a suggested patch at https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=50048 if someone wouldn't mind applying it :-) Attempted to apply, but it failed to apply. I'll need to go through and attempt to manually apply when I have a little more time. Hm - that's a bummer. Maybe it's because the patch is against trunk, while the bug links are to 2.2. I should probably create the patch against 2.2 as well... I'm very sorry that we ignored you. I'm paying more attention now that I was back in May. BTW, my 5/13 query was about something else entirely (perhaps I'll create a bug). I probably came across as kvetching just now, which wasn't my intent - it's just context for the discussion of creating an environment that encourages contribution.
