I'm an absolute export at creating unusual use cases ;)

I frequently do development on hybrid mobile apps (think Cordova, or whatever
it's called these days...), and I test them in the browser and on the phone in
parallel. XCode has (or at least used to have) the nasty habit of not being
very cooperative when an XCode project is opened from a network share (which
would be the proper way to do it). So instead, I opted for always putting the
XCode project on the local hard drive in the Mac, and then instead mount that
on my Linux machine, where the IDE (I'm not using XCode as an IDE, just for
device deployment) and the browser (for testing) reside. So, Apache on the
Linux machine has to mount the share from the Mac where the XCode project (and
thus, the web part of it) is.

I agree that's unusual, but I can't think I'm the only one who in some way
wants Apache to host a "website" residing on a network share? :/

To derail this bug report further: I cannot emphasize enough how highly I
respect the KDE developers and designers, it is by far the most powerful and
useful desktop on the planet, on any platform. Thank you!
