Hello,
The
Apache web server on start up iterates through the list of configuration
directives and invokes the associated module handler for each directive. For
e.g. if module A has handlers for directives D1 and D2, then the httpd process
on start up will invoke the handlers within module A when it encounters D1 and
D2 in httpd.conf. However,
what is the best way to find out missing mandatory parameters from within the
module. For e.g. if a directive D3 is mandatory for the module to work, then how
can the module on initialization guarantee that this configuration parameter is
provided? I
do not want to provide a default value for this mandatory configuration directive
and also, I do not want to check whether this mandatory directive is defined or
not while handling each request. Thanks
in advance, Best
regards, Raj
