SetEnv doesn't seem to work inside <Files>

           Summary: SetEnv doesn't seem to work inside 
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.0.44
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: Other
         Component: mod_cgi
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jhmark@xenops.com

When I put a SetEnv directive inside a <Files> section which identifies a CGI script, the environment variable is not set when the script is run. If I move the SetEnv into a <Directory> section for the directory the script is in, then it works as expected.

Example:
Create directories htdocs/dir1, htdocs/dir2. Copy test.sh (see below) into htdocs/dir1 and htdocs/dir2, make it executable. Put example text into your httpd.conf (see below). Go to http://localhost/test1 ... note that the value of FOO is shown as empty. Go to http://localhost/test2 ... note that the correct value is shown.

• here is test.sh #!/bin/sh echo Content-type: text/plain echo echo value of FOO environment variable is: $FOO
• here is what to put in httpd.conf ScriptAlias /test1 /YOURPATH/htdocs/dir1/test.sh ScriptAlias /test2 /YOURPATH/htdocs/dir2/test.sh
  <Files /YOURPATH/htdocs/dir1/test.sh>
  Options ExecCGI SetEnv FOO value_of_foo
  </Files>
  <Files /YOURPATH/htdocs/dir2/test.sh>
  Options ExecCGI
  </Files>
  <Directory /YOURPATH/htdocs/dir2/>
  SetEnv FOO value_of_foo
  </Directory>
