&balancer->name[11], because of default: balancer://mycluster: Change magic number 11 to something meaningful ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: MODCLUSTER-508 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/MODCLUSTER-508 Project: mod_cluster Issue Type: Enhancement Components: Native (httpd modules) Affects Versions: 1.3.2.Final, 1.2.13.Final Reporter: Michal Karm Babacek Assignee: Michal Karm Babacek Priority: Trivial Fix For: 1.3.6.Final While we compare balancers URL char by char, we start at index 11, because the default beginning: {{balancer://}} is always there. It would be nice to change 11 to a named constant so as it is clear why it's 11 without debugger :)
