Configuration

• Case insensitive

  Except where pathnames are involved, these files are not case sensitive.

• Comment lines begin with #

  Lines which should be ignored begin with #, the hash sign. This must be the first character on the line. Comments must be on a line by themselves.

• One directive per line

  Each line of these files consists of:

  Directive data [data2 ... datan]

  Directive is a keyword HTTPd recognizes, followed by whitespace. data is specific to the directive. Any additional data entries should be separated by whitespace.

• Extra whitespace is ignored

  You can put extra spaces or tabs between Directive and data. To embed a space in data without separating it from any subsequent arguments use a \ character before the space.
