Hack 80. Show all accepted directives inside httpd.conf

by Ramesh

This is like an extended help for httpd, which will display all the httpd.conf directives and the places where they are valid. For a specific directive, it tells all the possible values and where it can be used inside the httpd.conf. This can be very helpful, when you want to quickly know about a particular Apache directive.
