+ <h3>Environment variable ordering</h3>
+ When environment variables are looked up within an
+ <<code class="directive"><a href="./mod/core.html#if">If</a></code>> condition, it's important
+ to consider how extremely early in request processing that this
+ resolution occurs. As a guideline, any directive defined outside of virtual host
+ context (directory, location, htaccess) is not likely to have yet had a
+ chance to execute. <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_setenvif.html#setenvif">SetEnvIf</a></code>
+ in virtual host scope is one directive that runs prior to this resolution
+ <br />
+ <br />
+ When <code>reqenv</code> is used outside of <<code class="directive"><a href="./mod/core.html#if">If</a></code>>, the resolution will generally occur later, but the
+ exact timing depends on the directive the expression has been used within.
+ </div>
<p>When the functions <code>req</code> or <code>http</code> are used,
the header name will automatically be added to the Vary header of the
the expression. The <code>req_novary</code> function can be used to
prevent names from being added to the Vary header.</p>
- <p>In addition to string-valued functions, there are also list-valued functions which
- take one string as argument and return a wordlist, i.e. a list of strings. The wordlist
- can be used with the special <code>-in</code> operator.
- Functions names are not case sensitive.
- Modules may register additional functions.</p>
