Great, I've sent a couple of updated patches, which now include
documentation.

Ok, I've changed the prefix to 'httpd-'.

I got this from the etc/httpd/httpd.conf file in the httpd package, and
I've now added a comment in to the code saying this. I don't expect it
will need updating often.

I've gone with modules, and changed this field and the corresponding
record type.

That sounds good to me. I've now updated the first patch to generalise
the test, so that it can be used for both the nginx and httpd service.
