Here is the history: r76312 (1996-01-14) src/main/http_request.c, initial revision if (is_matchexp(entry_dir) && !strcmp_match(this_dir, entry_dir)) { r76659 (1996-07-25) src/main/http_request.c, allow <Directory> and <Location> to use regex. if (!regexec(entry_core->r, test_dirname, 0, NULL, (j == num_sec) ? 0 : REG_NOTEOL)) { r78909 (1997-08-06) src/main/http_request.c, directory_walk optimization reducing the core loop from O(N*M) to O(N+M). if (!regexec(entry_core->r, test_dirname, 0, NULL, REG_NOTEOL)) { r83226 (1999-05-21) src/main/http_request.c, use new api stub function if (!ap_regexec(entry_core->r, test_dirname, 0, NULL, REG_NOTEOL)) { r83750 (1999-08-24) modules/http/http_request.c, Obtained from Apache 1.3.9 if (!ap_regexec(entry_core->r, test_dirname, 0, NULL, REG_NOTEOL)) { r88453 (2001-03-05) move to server/request.c if (ap_regexec(entry_core->r, r->filename, 0, NULL, REG_NOTEOL)) { r90684 (2005-02-11) server/request.c, change constant namespace if (ap_regexec(entry_core->r, r->filename, 0, NULL, AP_REG_NOTEOL)) { REG_NOTEOL was added from the very beginning, although it would work for the last section. while it was nice seeing a (very small) part of Apache's history, it did learn me nothing.
