Summary: <Files*> and <Location*> sections seem to completely
miss how multiple of each of them are merged
Product: Apache httpd-2
Version: 2.3-HEAD
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major

Hi.
Perhaps I haven't seen it or I'm just stupid but from the descriptions
there...:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/sections.html#mergin
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#files
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#location
...I do absolutely not understand how multiple matching <Files> sections (or
<Location> sections or their regexp-counterparts are merged).
Is it:
1) the first one that matches?
2) the last ones?
3) all that match?
4) the most specific match? (not to ask how one should defined this)
Take the following (still very simply example)
<Files *.pdf>
Order Deny,Allow
SetOutputFilter INCLUDES
</Files>
<Files x.pdf>
Order Allow,Deny
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
</Files>
What is the effective outcome now when accessing "x.pdf"?
1)Order Deny,Allow
SetOutputFilter INCLUDES
2)Order Allow,Deny
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
3)Order Allow,Deny (<????)
SetOutputFilter INCLUDES;DEFLATE
4)Order Allow,Deny
SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
Or another IMHO even more confusing example:
<Location />
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
</Location>
<LocationMatch /server-status>
SetHandler server-status
Order allow,deny
Allow from 127.0.0.1 ::1
</LocationMatch>
How are they merged? And why? (When accessing /server-status
And why does e.g.:
<Location />
Allow from 127.0.0.1 ::1
</Location>
<LocationMatch /server-status>
SetHandler server-status
Order allow,deny
</LocationMatch>
Not lead to an allow, when accessin /server-status.
For <Directory>/Match all this is totally clear,... from the least specific to
the most specific dir.
Cheers,
Chris.
