Subject: people often assume that their Aliases will be found by "best match" rather
X-Git-Tag: pre_ajp_proxy~2149
X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=34850f47e54459388b4afa0c8fd7c73e625638e9;p=apache

people often assume that their Aliases will be found by "best match" rather
than "first match". Throw out warnings, if there are obvious overlappings, e.g.:

Alias /foo     /somewhere
Alias /foo/bar /elsewhere
