I have yet to find where the config file is read so the validation could happen before core.c (maybe in http_config.c?) I need the code local to read it properly so I am adding CDT to Eclipse. I'll post again if someone more familiar with the code does not. solprovider --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
