MENU_PKG_APACHE
  Here you will find config options for the apache packages.

SDECFG_PKG_APACHE_MOD_SO
  Enable DSO capability provided by mod_so.

  The Apache HTTP Server is a modular program where the administrator
  can choose the functionality to include in the server by selecting a
  set of modules. The modules can be statically compiled into the httpd
  binary when the server is built.
  Alternatively, modules can be compiled as Dynamic Shared Objects (DSOs)
  that exist separately from the main httpd binary file. DSO modules may
  be compiled at the time the server is built, or they may be compiled
  and added at a later time using the Apache Extension Tool (apxs).

  http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/dso.html

SDECFG_PKG_APACHE_MOD_AUTH_ANON
  Enable anonymous user access provided by mod_auth_anon.

  This module does access control in a manner similar to anonymous-ftp
  sites; i.e. have a 'magic' user id 'anonymous' and the email address
  as a password. These email addresses can be logged.

  Combined with other (database) access control methods, this allows for
  effective user tracking and customization according to a user profile
  while still keeping the site open for 'unregistered' users. One advantage
  of using Auth-based user tracking is that, unlike magic-cookies and funny
  URL pre/postfixes, it is completely browser independent and it allows
  users to share URLs.

  http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_auth_anon.html

SDECFG_PKG_APACHE_MOD_AUTH_DBM
  mod_auth_dbm provides for HTTP Basic Authentication, where the usernames
  and passwords are stored in DBM type database files.
  Use this option to enable the module.

  http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_auth_dbm.html

SDECFG_PKG_APACHE_MOD_AUTH_DIGEST
  Enable RFC2617 Digest authentication provided by mod_auth_digest.
  This module uses plain text files to store the credentials.

  More Documentantion about this topic can be found here:

  http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_auth_digest.html

SDECFG_PKG_APACHE_MOD_AUTH_LDAP
  Allows an LDAP directory to be used to store the database for HTTP Basic
  authentication.

  http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_auth_ldap.html

SDECFG_PKG_APACHE_MOD_SSL
  Enable support for SSL/TLS provided by mod_ssl.

  The Apache HTTP Server module mod_ssl provides an interface to the OpenSSL
  library, which provides Strong Encryption using the Secure Sockets Layer
  and Transport Layer Security protocols.

  More Documentantion about this topic can be found here:

  http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/ssl/

SDECFG_PKG_APACHE_MOD_DAV
  Enable the WebDAV protocol handling provided by mod_dav.

  mod_dav provides class 1 and class 2 WebDAV ('Web-based Distributed Authoring
  and Versioning') functionality for Apache. This extension to the HTTP protocol
  allows creating, moving, copying, and deleting resources and collections on a
  remote web server.

  Support for filesystem resources is provided by the seperate module mod_dav_fs.
  mod_dav_fs is also automatically enabled if you choose this option.

  More Documentantion about this topic can be found here:

  http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_dav.html

SDECFG_PKG_APACHE_MOD_CACHE
  Enable dynamic file caching provided by mod_cache.

  mod_cache implements an RFC 2616 compliant HTTP content cache that can be used
  to cache either local or proxied content.

  This experimental module may be interesting for servers with high load or caching
  proxy servers. At least one storage management module (e.g. mod_disk_cache or
  mod_mem_cache) is also necessary.

  More Documentantion about this topic can be found here:

  http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_cache.html

SDECFG_PKG_APACHE_MOD_DISK_CACHE
  Enable disk caching provided by mod_disk_cache.

  mod_disk_cache implements a disk based storage manager.
  It is primarily of use in conjunction with mod_proxy.

  More Documentantion about this topic can be found here:

  http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_disk_cache.html

SDECFG_PKG_APACHE_MOD_PROXY
  Enable the proxy/gateway functionality provided by mod_proxy.

  The proxying capabilities for CONNECT, FTP and HTTP are provided by the seperate
  modules mod_proxy_connect, mod_proxy_ftp and mod_proxy_http.
  These three modules are also automatically enabled with this option.

  http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_proxy.html

SDECFG_PKG_APACHE_MOD_REWRITE
  Enable rule based URL manipulation provided by mod_rewrite.

  This module uses a rule-based rewriting engine (based on a regular-expression parser)
  to rewrite requested URLs on the fly. It supports an unlimited number of rules and an
  unlimited number of attached rule conditions for each rule to provide a really flexible
  and powerful URL manipulation mechanism. The URL manipulations can depend on various
  tests, for instance server variables, environment variables, HTTP headers, time stamps
  and even external database lookups in various formats can be used to achieve a really
  granular URL matching.

  http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html

SDECFG_PKG_APACHE_MOD_DEFLATE
  Enable deflate transfer encoding provided by mod_deflate.

  The mod_deflate module provides the DEFLATE output filter that allows output from
  your server to be compressed before being sent to the client over the network.

  More Documentantion about this topic can be found here:

  http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_deflate.html

SDECFG_PKG_APACHE_MOD_INFO
  Enable the server information provided by mod_info.

  mod_info provides a comprehensive overview of the server configuration

  http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_info.html

SDECFG_PKG_APACHE_MOD_SPELLING
  Enable the functionality to correct common URL misspellings, which is provided
  by mod_speling.

  Requests to documents sometimes cannot be served by the core apache server because
  the request was misspelled or miscapitalized. This module addresses this problem by
  trying to find a matching document, even after all other modules gave up.
