Forwarding this to the proper list for you... and I'll personally look at
it this week as I review directory parsing throughout (particularly for
Apache 2.0).

Subject: Small patch for the vhost_alias module


> Running Apache 1.3.19 (going to 1.3.20 soon) on a Win2K Server box, I
> wanted to add dynamically configured virtual hosting through the
> vhost_alias module. After having compiled the module, I modified my
> 'httpd.conf' so that it would load it and I set up a
> 'VirtualDocumentRoot "d:/users/%1"'. To my surprise, Apache rejected
> my command with a "format string must start with '/' or be 'none'"
> error. Obviously the module was meant for *nix systems and not
> Windows!
> 
> To solve this (small) bug I modified lightly the  source code of the
> module so that, under Windows, it also accepts drive letters. I don't
> have time and knowledge to test it extensively, and it might not
> conform standard rules, but this solution works for me.
