[Win] Switch to Apache on Windows

• Component: Tools / Tests
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Brent Fulgham]

We have not had good results using Cygwin apache or lighttpd as our testing infrastructure. Instead, let's use a native Windows build of Apache so that we can turn SSL tests and other things back on.

Is this comment still helpful?

Are any of the commented out lines helpful enough to keep them? I'd delete everything that is commented out in this file.

We need to put this log into test directory to upload with test results (as well as access_log).

Do we really have any of these in tests? Do other platforms enable the handler?

This can all be removed.

Good point. I'll remove them.

This is controlled at runtime by the command line arguments we use when launching httpd. This is just the "stock" location from the original config file. I'd prefer to use environment variables to point to the users WebKit directory, but unfortunately there is no way (that I know of) to do so in an Apache config file.

This was in the original WebKit apache2.4-httpd.conf file, so I assumed it was needed. Yes, the other platforms do enable this (or at least, have it in the configuration file)
