=head1 NAME

Apache::ConfigFile - Parse an Apache style httpd.conf configuration file

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    #
    # Parse the standard Apache httpd.conf
    #
    use Apache::ConfigFile;
    my $ac = Apache::ConfigFile->read("/etc/apache/httpd.conf");

    # You can get at individual configuration commands using
    # the cmd_config() method:

    my $hostname = $ac->cmd_config('ServerName');
    my $doc_root = $ac->cmd_config('DocumentRoot');

    # Multiple values are returned as a list, meaning that you
    # can directly assign them to an array:

    my @perlmods = $ac->cmd_config('PerlModule');

    # And, you can use the cmd_config_hash() routine to get at
    # multiple settings where the first is a type of "key":

    my %ftypes   = $ac->cmd_config_hash('FileTypeSuffix');

    # Then, you can reset the context of the calls using the
    # cmd_context() method so that you are accessing the
    # appropriate values. For example, if you had a context
    # block like
    #
    #   <VirtualHost "10.1.1.2">
    #       ServerName "www.mydomain.com"
    #       DocumentRoot "/www/mydomain.com/htdocs"
    #   </VirtualHost>
    #
    # You would get to this definition via:

    my $vh = $ac->cmd_context(VirtualHost => '10.1.1.2');
    my $vhost_server_name = $vh->cmd_config('ServerName');
    my $vhost_doc_root    = $vh->cmd_config('DocumentRoot');

    # If you had multiple VirtualHost declarations for a
    # given IP (as would be the case if you're using
    # NameVirtualHosts), you could cycle through them with:

    for my $vh ($ac->cmd_context(VirtualHost => '10.1.1.3')) {
        my $vhost_server_name = $vh->cmd_config('ServerName');
        my $vhost_doc_root    = $vh->cmd_config('DocumentRoot');
    }

    # In fact, even better you can "search" for one by specifying
    # an additional set of criteria to cmd_config(). To just get
    # the VirtualHost "docs.mydomain.com", for example, try:

    my $docs_svr = $ac->cmd_context(VirtualHost => '10.1.1.3',
                                    ServerName  => 'docs.mydomain.com');
    my $docs_base_dir = $docs_svr->cmd_config('DocumentRoot');

    # In addition, this module will automatically autoload
    # directive-based functions, meaning you can get to
    # commonly-used commands by name:

    my $host = $ac->server_name;
    my $root = $ac->server_root;
    my $html = $ac->document_root;

    # You also get the mod_perl dir_config() command to get
    # at PerlSetVar declarations by name. So, the block:
    #
    #   <Location /myapp>
    #       SetHandler perl-script
    #       PerlHandler Apache::MyApp
    #       PerlSetVar MyAppRoot "/usr/myapp"
    #       PerlSetVar MyAppRefresh "30m"
    #   </Location>
    #
    # Would be accessed as:

    my $loc = $ac->cmd_context(Location => '/myapp');
    my $app_root = $loc->dir_config('MyAppRoot');
    my $app_refr = $loc->dir_config('MyAppRefresh');

    # Finally, you get two other utility methods. The first
    # will return the current data structure verbatim, and
    # the second one will return a dump which you can print
    # out or parse or whatever:

    my %config = $self->data;
    warn "DEBUG: ", $self->dump, "\n";

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module parses the Apache httpd.conf, or any compatible config
file, and provides methods for you to access the values from the
config file. The above examples show basic usage of this module,
which boils down to reading a given config file and then using
the C<cmd_config()> and C<cmd_context()> functions to access its
information.

By default, the config file is parsed more or less "verbatim",
meaning that directives are case-sensitive, variables are not
interpolated, and so forth. These features can be changed by
options given to the C<read()> function (see below).

The C<read()> function is the constructor, which reads in a
configuration file and returns an object with methods that can
be used to access directives from the file. The simplest usage
is something like this:

    use Apache::ConfigFile;
    my $ac = Apache::ConfigFile->read("/path/to/httpd.conf");

Which would parse the Apache C<httpd.conf> file and give you back
an C<$ac> object with the following methods:

=over

=item cmd_config()

Used to access individual configuration commands

=item cmd_context()

Used to change the context of the commands you're accessing

=item dir_config()

Used to access values set via the C<PerlSetVar> command (like C<mod_perl>)

=back

For more examples of standard Apache usage, you should read the
L</"SYNOPSIS"> above or skip down to the L</"FUNCTIONS">.

In addition to reading an Apache config file, this module provides
some options that allow the Apache syntax to be extended. This is
useful if you're writing your own application and want to use a
config file resembling Apache's.

    use Apache::ConfigFile;
    my $ac = Apache::ConfigFile->read(
                    file => "/path/to/httpd.conf",
                    ignore_case  => 1,
                    expand_vars  => 1,
                    fix_booleans => 1
             );

These options would allow us to write a custom config file looking
like this:

    BaseDir    "/export"
    ImageDir   "$BaseDir/images"
    BuildDir   "$BaseDir/images"

    <Release "sw7">
        OfficialName "Software Update 7"
        BuildPath "$BuildDir/sw7/REL"
        Platforms Solaris Linux IRIX HP-UX
        Supported Yes
    </Release>

Then, you would be able to access it as follows:

    use Apache::ConfigFile;
    my $swcfg = Apache::ConfigFile->read("releases.conf");

    # Note that case does not matter
    my $rel = $swcfg->cmd_context(release => 'sw7');
    my $ofn = $rel->cmd_config('bUiLdPaTh');

    # This is autoloading + fix_booleans
    unless ($rel->supported) {
        die "Sorry, that release is not supported";
    }

There are several things to note. First, all our C<cmd_> functions
are now case-insensitive, since we turned on the C<ignore_case>
flag (which is off by default). Second, notice a couple things
about our C<unless> statement. Since we specified C<fix_booleans>,
the words "Yes", "True", and "On" will be converted to C<1> (true),
and "No", "False", and "Off" will become C<0> (false). As such,
we can use these directives in boolean statements throughout our
code.

In addition, since this module provides autoloading so that all
config commands are turned into functions, you can access values
directly, as shown by the statement C<< $rel->supported >>. This
statement is equivalent to the longer C<< $rel->cmd_config('supported') >>.

Finally, if you just wish to manually navigate the data structure
(which is a huge hash of hashes of arrays) without using the
accessor functions, you can return the thing verbatim:

    my %conf = $ac->data;
    print "Release is $conf{'release'}\n";

However, note that the internal representation is subject to change,
so using the accessor functions is recommended.

=head1 FUNCTIONS

=head2 read(filename)

=head2 read(file => filename, opt => val, opt => val)

The C<read()> function reads the configuration file specified and
returns an object with methods to access its directives. C<read()>
has two calling forms. In the simplest version, you just specify
a filename, and a new C<Apache::ConfigFile> object is returned.
Or, if you want to specify options, you specify each one as a
key/value pair. For example:

   # keep default options
   my $ac = Apache::ConfigFile->read("httpd.conf");

   # override the case sensitivity and boolean translation
   my $ac = Apache::ConfigFile->read(file => "httpd.conf",
                                     ignore_case  => 1,
                                     fix_booleans => 1);

The list of valid options is:

=over

=item file

Path to configuration file. If not provided then
C</usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf> is used by default.

=item ignore_case

If set to 1, then all directives will be case-insensitive
and stored in lowercase. Defaults to 0.

=item fix_booleans

If set to 1, then the words "Yes", "True", and "On" will be
converted to C<1> (true), and "No", "False", and "Off" will
become C<0> (false). This allows you to easily use these
types of directives in if statements. Defaults to 0.

=item expand_vars

If set to 1, then you can reuse variables that you have
defined elsewhere in the config file by prefixing them
with a C<$>. For example:

    BaseDir   "/export"
    HomeDir   "$BaseDir/home"

Currently, you can only reuse variables defined at the very
top-level. Variables defined within context blocks of any
kind cannot be reused.

=item raise_error

If set to 1, any type of error becomes fatal. Defaults to 0.

=back

=head2 cmd_config(directive)

This is the meat-and-potatoes of the module; the method that
lets you access configuration directives from your file.
Examples:

    my $server_name = $ac->cmd_config('ServerName');
    my $doc_root = $ac->cmd_config('DocumentRoot');

This is a fairly straightforward function. You just give it the
name of the directive you wish to access and you get its value back.
Each time you call it, you will get the value for the next available
instance of that variable. If called in a scalar context, you will
just get the first value, assumed to be the "key".

What this means is that if you have a config file like this:

    ErrorDocument 404 /errors/404.cgi
    ErrorDocument 500 /errors/500.cgi

To get each line you would use a C<while> loop:

    while (my @line = $ac->cmd_config('ErrorDocument')) {
        print "For error $line[0] we're using $line[1]\n";
    }

Which should print:

    For error 404 we're using /errors/404.cgi
    For error 500 we're using /errors/500.cgi

Now, if you just wanted to get the error codes that were being
handled, you would still use a C<while> loop but in a scalar context:

    while (my $code = $ac->cmd_config('ErrorDocument')) {
        print "We're handling $code\n";
    }

Which should print:

    We're handling 404
    We're handling 500

If you want more flexibility, read the following two functions.

=head2 cmd_config_array(directive)

This returns the entire data structure for a given directive
as an array of arrays. So, you could get all the C<ErrorDocument>
configs by saying:

    my @errors = $ac->cmd_config_array('ErrorDocument');

Then, you would have to iterate over these yourself, since each
element is an array reference:

    for my $e (@errors) {
        print "Code is $e->[0] and script is $e->[1]\n";
    }

Which should print:

   Code is 404 and script is /errors/404.cgi
   Code is 500 and script is /errors/500.cgi

Assuming the same configuration as above.

=head2 cmd_config_hash(directive)

This is perhaps the most useful form. It returns a set of key/value
pairs where the key is the first element and the value is the
rest of the line. This is great for handling C<FileTypeSuffix>
or C<AddHandler> lines, for example:

    my %handler = $ac->cmd_config_hash('AddHandler');

This would return a hash where the keys would be the first field,
such as C<cgi-script> or C<server-parsed>, and value is the
remaining line as an array reference.

As such, you could access a specific one as:

    print "Suffixes for CGI scripts are: @{$handler{cgi-script}}\n";

Which should print out something like this:

    Suffixes for CGI scripts are: .cgi .pl

Note that you had to derefence the value inside of a C<@{}> since
the value is an array reference. This is so that you can get a list
of values reliably. For example:

    my %handler = $ac->cmd_config_hash('AddHandler');
    my @cgi_suffixes   = @{$handler{cgi-script}};
    my @shtml_suffixed = @{$handler{server-parsed}};

That way you get the proper values even in the case of embedded
whitespace. In addition, it allows you to define your own complex
directives:

    # Format: key "Real Name" option1 option2 option3
    CustomField lname "Last Name"
    CustomField ctry  "Country" US CA MX JP Other

Then in your code:

    my %custom_field = $ac->cmd_config_hash('CustomField');
    while(my($key, $val) = each %custom_field) {
        my $label = shift(@$val) || ucfirst($key);
        # see if we have any options remaining
        if (@$val) {
            # have options; create select list
            print qq($label: <select name="$key">\n");
            for my $opt (@$val) {
                print qq(<option value="$opt">$opt</option>\n);
            }
            print qq(</select>\n);
        } else {
            # no options; text field
            print qq($label: <input name="$key" type="text type="text"">\n);
        }
    }

That way you could use an Apache style config file to setup a
custom form based application.

=head2 cmd_context(context => specification)

You use this command to change the current context of what you
are looking at. When you start, you are looking at the very
top-level of the config file. However, you may want to look
at a specific virtual host or directory. You can do so with
this command.

    my $vhost = $ac->cmd_context(VirtualHost => '10.1.1.2');
    my $server_name = $vhost->cmd_config('ServerName');
    my $doc_root    = $vhost->cmd_config('DocumentRoot');

You'll notice that the C<cmd_context()> call returns an
object will all the same methods, but the data structure
now starts from that point down. The context has been altered
so that you are looking at the C<< <VirtualHost "10.1.1.2"> >>.
block. As such, any commands that you do will affect that part
of the configuration.

In some cases, you may have multiple definitions for a certain
context level. One example is C<VirtualHost> blocks if you're
using C<NameVirtualHosts>. You have two options. First, you
could cycle through all of them in sequence:

    for my $vhost ($ac->cmd_context(VirtualHost => '10.1.1.2')) {
        # ... do stuff ...
    }

However, you may not know what you're looking for. In this case,
if you just want to get the "keys" of all the C<VirtualHost>
definitions and then iterate through all of them, you might do
something like this:

    my @vhkeys = $ac->cmd_context('VirtualHost');
    for my $vhkey (@vhkeys) {
        my $vhost = $ac->cmd_context(VirtualHost => $vhkey);
    }

Note that this is the one situation where the C<cmd_context()>
function does I<not> return an object, but rather a list of
string keys.

Conversely, you may know I<exactly> which one you're looking for.
If so, you can specify one additional "search" parameter. For
example, if you want the C<superfoo> server, you could say:

    my $sf = $ac->cmd_context(VirtualHost => '10.1.1.2',
                              ServerName  => 'superfoo');

And this would look for a context block that looked something
like this:

    <VirtualHost "10.1.1.2">
        ServerName "superfoo"
        # ... more config options ...
    </VirtualHost>

you can easily access nested configurations as well. If you had a
configuration like this:

    <Location "/upload">
        SetHandler perl-script
        PerlHandler Apache::MyUploadModule
        PerlSetVar MyUploadModuleMaxsize "5M"
        PerlSetVar MyUploadModuleTimeout "300s"
        <Limit>
            require user "bob"
            require user "jim"
        </Limit>
    </Location>

And you wanted to find out what the valid users were who could
access this page, you would navigate it like so:

    my $loc = $ac->cmd_context(Location => '/upload');
    my $lim = $loc->cmd_context('Limit');
    my @users = $lim->cmd_config('require');

Or, more succintly:

    my @users = $ac->cmd_context(Location => '/upload')
                   ->cmd_context(Limit => '')->cmd_config('require');

Since C<cmd_context()> returns an object pointing to the next
context, you can chain calls together to get to a deeply nested
level.

=head2 dir_config()

This routine is provided for C<mod_perl> compatibility. It allows
you to access configuration commands specified via the C<PerlSetVar>
directive. So, assuming the above example, you could access the
settings for C<MyUploadModule> like so:

    my $upload = $ac->cmd_context(Location => '/upload');

    my $maxsize = $upload->dir_config('MyUploadModuleMaxsize');
    my $timeout = $upload->dir_config('MyUploadModuleTimeout');

The idea is to provide an interface which walks and talks roughly
like Apache actually would.

=head2 data()

This returns the entire data structure under the current context
verabatim. So, you could get all the values for a C<VirtualHost>
with:

    my $vh = $ac->cmd_context(VirtualHost => '10.1.1.4');
    my %vhost = $vh->data;

If you specified C<ignore_case>, then all the keys will be
lowercase; otherwise, they will be in whatever case they are in
the config file.

=head2 dump()

This returns a dump of the current data structure in string form.
So for debugging purposes you can dump the config with something
like this:

    warn "DUMP: ", $ac->dump, "\n";

=head2 reread()

You can use this function to reread the configuration file. For
example, maybe you want your application to reread its config
if it receives a C<SIGHUP>:

    $SIG{HUP} = \&handler;
    sub handler {
        my $sig = shift;
        if ($sig eq 'HUP') {
            # reread our config file on kill -HUP
            $config->reread;
        }
    }

The above would handle a C<SIGHUP> by rereading the config file.

=head2 write([file])

This writes the configuration out to disk. If no file is specified,
then the one passed to C<read()> is used. This method is currently
under development and does not work. Patches welcome.

=head2 autoloaded calls

In addition to the above, you can also access values by calling
a function named for the config command directly:

    my $server_name = $ac->cmd_config('ServerName');

Is the same as:

    my $server_name = $ac->server_name;

Underscores in the function name are taken as a place to put
an uppercase letter. So these are all equivalent:

    my $doc_root = $ac->cmd_config('DocumentRoot');
    my $doc_root = $ac->DocumentRoot;   # looks silly
    my $doc_root = $ac->document_root;

Note, though, that the following would B<not> work unless you had
set the C<ignore_case> option:

    my $doc_root = $ac->documentroot;   # won't work

This is because it will look for the directive C<Documentroot>,
which probably doesn't exist.

=head1 ALIASES

When I initially wrote this module, I tried to follow the internal
Apache API pretty closely. However, for those unfamiliar with
Apache these method names probably make little sense. As such,
the following function aliases are provided

=over

=item directive

Same as C<cmd_config()>

=item directive_array

Same as C<cmd_config_array()>

=item directive_hash

Same as C<cmd_config_hash()>

=item section

Same as C<cmd_context()>

=back

So this code:

    my $vh = $ac->cmd_context(VirtualHost => '10.1.1.2');
    my $vhost_server_name = $vh->cmd_config('ServerName');
    my $vhost_doc_root    = $vh->cmd_config('DocumentRoot');
    my %error_handlers    = $ac->cmd_config_hash('ErrorDocument');

Could be rewritten as the following and work B<exactly> the same:

    my $vh = $ac->section(VirtualHost => '10.1.1.2');
    my $vhost_server_name = $vh->directive('ServerName');
    my $vhost_doc_root    = $vh->directive('DocumentRoot');
    my %error_handlers    = $ac->directive_hash('ErrorDocument');

These will always be supported so feel free to use them.

=head1 NOTES

Currently C<LogFormat> and any other directive with embedded quotes,
even if escaped, are not handled correctly. I know there is a fix for
it but I have a mental block and can't figure it out. Help!

This module does B<not> mimic the behavior of a live Apache config.
In particular, there is no configuration "inheritance". This means
that subdirectories and virtual hosts do not inherit their defaults
from the upper levels of the configuration. This may or may not
change in a future version.

Currently, the order of context blocks is not maintained. So, if
you define two blocks:

    <Directory "/">
        Options +MultiViews
    </Directory>

    <Directory "/var/apache/htdocs">
        Options +ExecCGI
    </Directory>

There will be no way for you to tell the order in which these were defined.
Normally this should not matter, since the idea of a context section is to
create a logical entity. However, patches to overcome this limitation
are welcomed.

This module has only been tested and used on UNIX platforms. Patches
to fix problems with other OSes are welcome.
