Table B.2, “Apache Server Methods” contains the exhaustive list of methods, in alphabetical order. The documentation of each method follows.

addrs()

The official documentation for this method comes directly from the Doxygen documentation from the Apache source, defined in line 1192 of httpd.h:

I have pneumonia and am in a trance right now and don't feel like digging for details. Enjoy.

defn_line_number()

defn_line_number() returns the line of the config file that the server was defined on.

defn_name()

defn_name() returns the name of the server — the fully qualified domain name. This varies with the particular virtual host that is responding to the request.

error_fname()

error_fname() returns the name of the error log.

error_log()

error_log() returns a file descriptor that references the error log.

is_virtual()

is_virtual() returns 1 is this is a virtual host handling the request, 0 otherwise (the default/main server host — you know — the one that says "If you're seeing this page instead of the one you expected ... you must be a n00b". Or something like that. Sorry, still listening to Wilco ... You try writing this boring documentation on a Sunday afternoon).

keep_alive()

keep_alive() returns 1 if keepalive is enabled (client requires a persistent connection), 0 otherwise.

keep_alive_max()

keep_alive_max() returns the maximum number of requests for a keepalive connection. See the Apache Core documentation for more information.

keep_alive_timeout()

keep_alive_timeout() returns the APR interval (seconds) that server will wait for another request. See the Apache Core documentation for more information.

limit_req_fields()

limit_req_fields() returns the limit on number of request header fields. See the Apache Core documentation for more information.

limit_req_fieldsize()

limit_req_fieldsize() returns the limit on size of any request header field. See the Apache Core documentation for more information.

limit_req_line()

limit_req_line() returns the limit on size of the HTTP request line. See the Apache Core documentation for more information.

loglevel()

loglevel() returns the log level for this server. See the Apache Core documentation for more information.

lookup_defaults()

lookup_defaults() is unimplemented. This is a C-level module configuration function which is basically useless from Ruby.

This function returns nil

names()

names() returns an APR array of server aliases for this host. For more information, see the Apache documentation on ServerAlias.

next()

next() returns the next Server object in the list.

path()

path() returns the path name of the server path. For more information, see the Apache documentation on ServerPath.

pathlen()

pathlen() returns the length in bytes of the ServerPath.

port()

port() returns the port number on the server that the request came in on.

process()

port() returns the Process object associated with this server. See Section 5, “The Apache Process Class” for more information.

server_admin()

server_admin() returns the name of the server admin. For more information, see the Apache documentation on ServerAdmin.

server_hostname()

server_hostname() returns the server name handling the request. For more information, see the Apache documentation on ServerName.

timeout()

timeout() returns the timeout interval (seconds).

wild_names()

wild_names() returns and APR array containing the wildcarded names for ServerAlias servers. For more information, see the Apache documentation on ServerAlias.
