If you need more advanced features, then use your favorite preprocess (m4, etc) to generate your config files." This certainly applies to my situation, and I was thinking something similar. Still, the Apache httpd conf syntax is quite powerful, so my question still seemed worth asking.

I am aware of using the IfDefine directive and the -D flag of httpd, but that functionality is not quite when I am looking for. For example, suppose the directive I am looking for were named "IfMatch". I would want to do something like this. <IfMatch ${MYVAR1} "production"> # Directives related to production. </IfMatch> <IfMatch ${MYVAR1} "test"> # Directives related to test. </IfMatch> <IfMatch ${MYVAR1} "development"> # Directives related to development. </IfMatch> I realize that I could do the equivalent with IfDefine and 3 different define parameters, but I am wondering if it is possible to perform the string comparison within the Apache conf itself as I detailed above. Thanks, All.
With 2.3 coming, httpd.conf will support LUA as per the announcement. So you need to wait till 2.3 is out. :)
