Win32 Apache 2.2.6 Allow from env= issue

[Keith Sawmiller <k_sawmill@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm trying to restrict access to only instances where an environment variable is present (eventually to be set via PHP)

 

This simple case (from httpd.conf) denies access:

SetEnv TEST_VAR
<Directory "Z:/Web Root">
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None

    Order allow,deny
    allow from env=TEST_VAR
</Directory>

 

******************** BUT ******

changing "env=TEST_VAR" to "all" grants access, shown below:

 

SetEnv TEST_VAR
<Directory "Z:/Web Root">
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None

    Order allow,deny
    allow from all
</Directory>

 

It seems like Apache is not passing the "env=TEST_VAR" test, even though everything I've found in the documentation and forums says this should work. 

 

Any help is appreciated.
