Description

Description

related with #17817

repro: https://3v4l.org/AEfvC

Currently, it is not possible to set error_log ini config to a non-FS path.

When error log needs to be asserted in an app, real tmp file needs to be created. This is slow and RW FS is required.

I would be happy if VFS/custom stream wrapper could be supported in error_log.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the behavior with the linked 3v4l.org example and read the related issue #17817 for context. Trace how the error_log ini setting handles paths and stream wrappers; done means error_log accepts VFS or custom stream-wrapper paths without requiring a real writable filesystem.
