            Bug ID: 63717
           Summary: Meaning of _default_ seems to have changed in 2.4, yet
                    not reflected in documentation
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.4.41
          Hardware: PC
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: docs@httpd.apache.org
          Reporter: apa...@stefanseidel.info
  Target Milestone: ---

In the docs for <VirtualHost>:
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/core.html#virtualhost it is said that
_default_ is an alias for *. This has changed from 2.2, where _default_
indicated a "catch-all" for unmatched hosts.

I seems that the pages
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/vhosts/examples.html
and
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/vhosts/details.html
have not been brought up to date with this information.

Some testing seems to confirm that _default_ is nothing special anymore and if
in doubt, Apache HTTPD 2.4 will use the first <VirtualHost> declaration if the
request hostname does not match any declared ServerName or ServerAlias.

Is this correct, and if so, can the documentation be adjusted accordingly?
