Sort of. I just finished reading over 3000 mail messages, and my brain
is fizzled.
The answer to anything dealing with the check_hostalias() code is
usually "Don't ask. It's better you don't know." I rewrote that code
three or four times originally, and it just got worse, as full-URI
checking and ServerAlias and ServerPath and HTTP/1.1-compatibility and
who-knows-what-else was added.
I just keep thinking that life would be so much easier if I had stuck
to my original plan and used a seperate <HostAlias> section, instead
of sticking it onto <VirtualHost> (ever wonder why the function is
called check_hostalias?) Brian talked me into the latter (aha! it's
all his fault,) but I'm not quite sure it was a good idea. Too late
now, though, I suppose.
I'll try to take a better look at all this tomorrow (er... today).
*sigh*
