How to dynamically add

Hi all,

I'm trying to find a way to add dynamically <Location> to apache
server. A Intranet web application needs to create/delete by itself
<Location>.

Right now I'm working with

Include afile.conf

In this file a script is automatically adding/deleting.
<Location /somewhere>
</Location>

And then it executes "apachectl graceful" to apply changes.

Is there any other way to do it?

Thanks and Merryr Christmas to all

Olivier

this sounds rather insecure if the script is called by the webserver
itself or something in its context like a cgi or php. also you'll
probably need the script to run under root to signal the apache master
process - ouch!

depends. if the stuff you need to do can be done with mod_rewrite,
chances are you can put the changing part into a rewrite-map - those
are automagically refreshed at runtime when they change.

or if the stuff you want to have in our location container could also
reside in an .htaccess file, you could generate this instead, these
are also checked for each request.
