35<h3>Summary</h3>
36
37    <p>This module is designed for the use in test suites and large
38    networks which have to deal with different httpd versions and
39    different configurations. It provides a new container -- <code class="directive"><a href="#ifversion">&lt;IfVersion&gt;</a></code>, which
40    allows a flexible version checking including numeric comparisons and
41    regular expressions.</p>
42
43    <div class="example"><h3>Examples</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">&lt;IfVersion 2.4.2&gt;
44    # current httpd version is exactly 2.4.2
45&lt;/IfVersion&gt;
46
47&lt;IfVersion &gt;= 2.5&gt;
48    # use really new features :-)
49&lt;/IfVersion&gt;</pre>
50</div>
51
52    <p>See below for further possibilities.</p>
53</div>
54<div id="quickview"><h3 class="directives">Directives</h3>
55<ul id="toc">
56<li><img alt="" src="/images/down.gif" /> <a href="#ifversion">&lt;IfVersion&gt;</a></li>

61<div class="directive-section"><h2><a name="IfVersion" id="IfVersion">&lt;IfVersion&gt;</a> <a name="ifversion" id="ifversion">Directive</a></h2>

64<tr><th><a href="directive-dict.html#Syntax">Syntax:</a></th><td><code>&lt;IfVersion [[!]<var>operator</var>] <var>version</var>&gt; ...

70</table>
71    <p>The <code class="directive">&lt;IfVersion&gt;</code> section encloses
72    configuration directives which are executed only if the
73    <code class="program"><a href="/programs/httpd.html">httpd</a></code> version
74    matches the desired criteria. For normal (numeric) comparisons the
75    <var>version</var> argument has the format
76    <code><var>major</var>[.<var>minor</var>[.<var>patch</var>]]</code>, e.g.
77    <code>2.1.0</code> or <code>2.2</code>. <var>minor</var> and
78    <var>patch</var> are optional. If these numbers are omitted, they are
79    assumed to be zero. The following numerical <var>operator</var>s are
80    possible:</p>
81
82    <table class="bordered"><tr class="header"><th><var>operator</var></th><th>description</th></tr>
83<tr><td><code>=</code> or <code>==</code></td>
84        <td>httpd version is equal</td></tr>
85<tr class="odd"><td><code>&gt;</code></td>
86        <td>httpd version is greater than</td></tr>
87<tr><td><code>&gt;=</code></td>
88        <td>httpd version is greater or equal</td></tr>
89<tr class="odd"><td><code>&lt;</code></td>
90        <td>httpd version is less than</td></tr>
91<tr><td><code>&lt;=</code></td>
92        <td>httpd version is less or equal</td></tr>
93</table>
94
95    <div class="example"><h3>Example</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">&lt;IfVersion &gt;= 2.3&gt;
96    # this happens only in versions greater or
97    # equal 2.3.0.
98&lt;/IfVersion&gt;</pre>
99</div>
100
101    <p>Besides the numerical comparison it is possible to match a
102    <a class="glossarylink" href="/glossary.html#regex" title="see glossary">regular expression</a>
103    against the httpd version. There are two ways to write it:</p>
104
105    <table class="bordered"><tr class="header"><th><var>operator</var></th><th>description</th></tr>
106<tr><td><code>=</code> or <code>==</code></td>
107        <td><var>version</var> has the form
108            <code>/<var>regex</var>/</code></td></tr>
109<tr class="odd"><td><code>~</code></td>
110        <td><var>version</var> has the form
111            <code><var>regex</var></code></td></tr>
112</table>
113
114    <div class="example"><h3>Example</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">&lt;IfVersion = /^2.4.[01234]$/&gt;
115    # e.g. workaround for buggy versions
116&lt;/IfVersion&gt;</pre>
117</div>
118
119    <p>In order to reverse the meaning, all operators can be preceded by an
120    exclamation mark (<code>!</code>):</p>
121
122    <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">&lt;IfVersion !~ ^2.4.[01234]$&gt;
123    # not for those versions
124&lt;/IfVersion&gt;</pre>
125
126
127    <p>If the <var>operator</var> is omitted, it is assumed to be
128    <code>=</code>.</p>
