(I mean I get the error on Apache startup.) I don't think BalancerMember is designed to be used outside of (plain) Location and <Proxy> configuration sections. Will leave PR open a few days. Confirmed.
This is because of:
/*
* Set a dummy value so that other directives notice that they are inside
* a config section.
*/
cmd->path = "*If";
around line 2485 in core.c
This breaks the processing of BalancerMember.
What is the goal of this?
The original goal was to make a configurable reverse proxy. We figured Apache's configuration could be adapted at launch through environment variables and <If> blocks. We just worked around the issue by building the right Apache configuration in a launcher script and including it whole through an environment variable in Apache's configuration. > What is the goal of this?
Your goal is clear.
My question was not explicit enought.
I meant: "what is the goal of such a behaviour in <if > processing (i.e. cmd->path = "*If";)"
In other words: "could ifsection() be modified to allow the kind of construction you tried to use?"
I just ran into this as well. What is the current status on the issue. |

A line such as: SetOutputFilter INCLUDES instead will raise no error, though.
