- <p>The Apache HTTP Server provides a mechanism for storing
- information in named variables that are called <em>environment
- variables</em>. This information can be used to control various
- operations such as logging or access control. The variables are
- also used as a mechanism to communicate with external programs
- such as CGI scripts. This document discusses different ways to
- manipulate and use these variables.</p>
-
- <p>Although these variables are referred to as <em>environment
- variables</em>, they are not the same as the environment
- variables controlled by the underlying operating system.
- Instead, these variables are stored and manipulated in an
- internal Apache structure. They only become actual operating
- system environment variables when they are provided to CGI
- scripts and Server Side Include scripts. If you wish to
- manipulate the operating system environment under which the
- server itself runs, you must use the standard environment
- manipulation mechanisms provided by your operating system
- shell.</p>

- <h3><a name="basic-manipulation" id="basic-manipulation">Basic Environment Manipulation</a></h3>
-
-
- <p>The most basic way to set an environment variable in Apache
- is using the unconditional <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_env.html#setenv">SetEnv</a></code> directive. Variables may also be passed from
- the environment of the shell which started the server using the
- <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_env.html#passenv">PassEnv</a></code> directive.</p>
-
-
- <h3><a name="conditional" id="conditional">Conditional Per-Request Settings</a></h3>
-
-
- <p>For additional flexibility, the directives provided by
- <code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_setenvif.html">mod_setenvif</a></code> allow environment variables to be set
- on a per-request basis, conditional on characteristics of particular
- requests. For example, a variable could be set only when a
- specific browser (User-Agent) is making a request, or only when
- a specific Referer [sic] header is found. Even more flexibility
- is available through the <code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_rewrite.html">mod_rewrite</a></code>'s <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewriterule">RewriteRule</a></code> which uses the
- <code>[E=...]</code> option to set environment variables.</p>
-
-
- <h3><a name="unique-identifiers" id="unique-identifiers">Unique Identifiers</a></h3>
-
-
- <p>Finally, <code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_unique_id.html">mod_unique_id</a></code> sets the environment variable <code>UNIQUE_ID</code> for each request to a value which is
- guaranteed to be unique across "all" requests under very
- specific conditions.</p>
-
-
- <h3><a name="standard-cgi" id="standard-cgi">Standard CGI Variables</a></h3>
-
-
- <p>In addition to all environment variables set within the
- Apache configuration and passed from the shell, CGI scripts and
- SSI pages are provided with a set of environment variables
- containing meta-information about the request as required by
- the <a href="http://cgi-spec.golux.com/">CGI
- specification</a>.</p>
-
-
- <h3><a name="caveats" id="caveats">Some Caveats</a></h3>
-
-
- <ul>
- <li>It is not possible to override or change the standard CGI
- variables using the environment manipulation directives.</li>
-
- <li>When <code class="program"><a href="./programs/suexec.html">suexec</a></code> is used to launch
- CGI scripts, the environment will be cleaned down to a set of
- <em>safe</em> variables before CGI scripts are launched. The
- list of <em>safe</em> variables is defined at compile-time in
- <code>suexec.c</code>.</li>
-
- <li>For portability reasons, the names of environment
- variables may contain only letters, numbers, and the
- underscore character. In addition, the first character may
- not be a number. Characters which do not match this
- restriction will be replaced by an underscore when passed to
- CGI scripts and SSI pages.</li>
-
- <li>The <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_env.html#setenv">SetEnv</a></code> directive runs
- late during request processing meaning that directives such as
- <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_setenvif.html#setenvif">SetEnvIf</a></code> and <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewritecond">RewriteCond</a></code> will not see the
- variables set with it.</li>
- </ul>

-
- <h3><a name="cgi-scripts" id="cgi-scripts">CGI Scripts</a></h3>
-
-
- <p>One of the primary uses of environment variables is to
- communicate information to CGI scripts. As discussed above, the
- environment passed to CGI scripts includes standard
- meta-information about the request in addition to any variables
- set within the Apache configuration. For more details, see the
- <a href="howto/cgi.html">CGI tutorial</a>.</p>
-
-
- <h3><a name="ssi-pages" id="ssi-pages">SSI Pages</a></h3>
-
-
- <p>Server-parsed (SSI) documents processed by <code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_include.html">mod_include</a></code>'s
- <code>INCLUDES</code> filter can print environment variables
- using the <code>echo</code> element, and can use environment
- variables in flow control elements to makes parts of a page
- conditional on characteristics of a request. Apache also
- provides SSI pages with the standard CGI environment variables
- as discussed above. For more details, see the <a href="howto/ssi.html">SSI tutorial</a>.</p>
-
-
- <h3><a name="access-control" id="access-control">Access Control</a></h3>
-
-
- <p>Access to the server can be controlled based on the value of
- environment variables using the <code>allow from env=</code>
- and <code>deny from env=</code> directives. In combination with
- <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_setenvif.html#setenvif">SetEnvIf</a></code>, this
- allows for flexible control of access to the server based on
- characteristics of the client. For example, you can use these
- directives to deny access to a particular browser (User-Agent).
- </p>
-
-
- <h3><a name="logging" id="logging">Conditional Logging</a></h3>
-
-
- <p>Environment variables can be logged in the access log using
- the <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_log_config.html#logformat">LogFormat</a></code>
- option <code>%e</code>. In addition, the decision on whether
- or not to log requests can be made based on the status of
- environment variables using the conditional form of the
- <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_log_config.html#customlog">CustomLog</a></code>
- directive. In combination with <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_setenvif.html#setenvif">SetEnvIf</a></code> this allows for flexible control of which
- requests are logged. For example, you can choose not to log
- requests for filenames ending in <code>gif</code>, or you can
- choose to only log requests from clients which are outside your
- subnet.</p>
-
-
- <h3><a name="response-headers" id="response-headers">Conditional Response Headers</a></h3>
-
-
- <p>The <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_headers.html#header">Header</a></code>
- directive can use the presence or
- absence of an environment variable to determine whether or not
- a certain HTTP header will be placed in the response to the
- client. This allows, for example, a certain response header to
- be sent only if a corresponding header is received in the
- request from the client.</p>
-
-
-
- <h3><a name="external-filter" id="external-filter">External Filter Activation</a></h3>
-
-
- <p>External filters configured by <code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_ext_filter.html">mod_ext_filter</a></code>
- using the <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_ext_filter.html#extfilterdefine">ExtFilterDefine</a></code> directive can
- by activated conditional on an environment variable using the
- <code>disableenv=</code> and <code>enableenv=</code> options.</p>
-
-
- <h3><a name="url-rewriting" id="url-rewriting">URL Rewriting</a></h3>
-
-
- <p>The <code>%{ENV:<em>variable</em>}</code> form of
- <em>TestString</em> in the <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewritecond">RewriteCond</a></code> allows <code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_rewrite.html">mod_rewrite</a></code>'s rewrite
- engine to make decisions conditional on environment variables.
- Note that the variables accessible in <code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_rewrite.html">mod_rewrite</a></code>
- without the <code>ENV:</code> prefix are not actually environment
- variables. Rather, they are variables special to
- <code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_rewrite.html">mod_rewrite</a></code> which cannot be accessed from other
- modules.</p>
-
- </div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="./images/up.gif" /></a></div>
-<div class="section">
-<h2><a name="special" id="special">Special Purpose Environment Variables</a></h2>
-
-
- <p>Interoperability problems have led to the introduction of
- mechanisms to modify the way Apache behaves when talking to
- particular clients. To make these mechanisms as flexible as
- possible, they are invoked by defining environment variables,
- typically with <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_setenvif.html#browsermatch">BrowserMatch</a></code>,
- though <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_env.html#setenv">SetEnv</a></code> and
- <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_env.html#passenv">PassEnv</a></code> could also be used,
- for example.</p>
-
- <h3><a name="downgrade" id="downgrade">downgrade-1.0</a></h3>
-
-
- <p>This forces the request to be treated as a HTTP/1.0 request
- even if it was in a later dialect.</p>
-
-
- <h3><a name="force-no-vary" id="force-no-vary">force-no-vary</a></h3>
-
-
- <p>This causes any <code>Vary</code> fields to be removed from
- the response header before it is sent back to the client. Some
- clients don't interpret this field correctly (see the <a href="misc/known_client_problems.html">known client
- problems</a> page); setting this variable can work around this
- problem. Setting this variable also implies
- <strong>force-response-1.0</strong>.</p>
-
-
- <h3><a name="force-response" id="force-response">force-response-1.0</a></h3>
-
-
- <p>This forces an HTTP/1.0 response to clients making an HTTP/1.0
- request. It was originally
- implemented as a result of a problem with AOL's proxies. Some
- HTTP/1.0 clients may not behave correctly when given an HTTP/1.1
- response, and this can be used to interoperate with them.</p>
-
-
-
- <h3><a name="gzip-only-text-html" id="gzip-only-text-html">gzip-only-text/html</a></h3>
-
-
- <p>When set to a value of "1", this variable disables the
- <code>DEFLATE</code> output filter provided by
- <code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_deflate.html">mod_deflate</a></code> for content-types other than
- <code>text/html</code>.</p>
-
-
- <h3><a name="no-gzip" id="no-gzip">no-gzip</a></h3>
-
- <p>When set, the <code>DEFLATE</code> filter of
- <code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_deflate.html">mod_deflate</a></code> will be turned off.</p>
-
-
-
- <h3><a name="nokeepalive" id="nokeepalive">nokeepalive</a></h3>
-
-
- <p>This disables <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/core.html#keepalive">KeepAlive</a></code>
- when set.</p>
-
-
-
- <h3><a name="prefer-language" id="prefer-language">prefer-language</a></h3>
-
- <p>This influences <code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_negotiation.html">mod_negotiation</a></code>'s behaviour. If
- it contains a language tag (such as <code>en</code>, <code>ja</code>
- or <code>x-klingon</code>), <code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_negotiation.html">mod_negotiation</a></code> tries
- to deliver a variant with that language. If there's no such variant,
- the normal <a href="content-negotiation.html">negotiation</a> process
- applies.</p>
-
-
-
- <h3><a name="redirect-carefully" id="redirect-carefully">redirect-carefully</a></h3>
-
-
- <p>This forces the server to be more careful when sending a redirect
- to the client. This is typically used when a client has a known
- problem handling redirects. This was originally implemented as a
- result of a problem with Microsoft's WebFolders software which has
- a problem handling redirects on directory resources via DAV
- methods.</p>
-
-
-
- <h3><a name="suppress-error-charset" id="suppress-error-charset">suppress-error-charset</a></h3>
-
-
- <p><em>Available in versions after 2.0.54</em></p>
-
- <p>When Apache issues a redirect in response to a client request,
- the response includes some actual text to be displayed in case
- the client can't (or doesn't) automatically follow the redirection.
- Apache ordinarily labels this text according to the character set
- which it uses, which is ISO-8859-1.</p>
-
- <p> However, if the redirection is to a page that uses a different
- character set, some broken browser versions will try to use the
- character set from the redirection text rather than the actual page.
- This can result in Greek, for instance, being incorrectly rendered.</p>
-
- <p>Setting this environment variable causes Apache to omit the character
- set for the redirection text, and these broken browsers will then correctly
- use that of the destination page.</p>

- <h3><a name="misbehaving" id="misbehaving">Changing protocol behavior with misbehaving clients</a></h3>
-
-
- <p>We recommend that the following lines be included in

-<div class="example"><pre>
-#
-# The following directives modify normal HTTP response behavior.
-# The first directive disables keepalive for Netscape 2.x and browsers that

-
-
- <h3><a name="no-img-log" id="no-img-log">Do not log requests for images in the access log</a></h3>
-
-
- <p>This example keeps requests for images from appearing in the
- access log. It can be easily modified to prevent logging of
- particular directories, or to prevent logging of requests
- coming from particular hosts.</p>
-
- <div class="example"><p><code>
- SetEnvIf Request_URI \.gif image-request<br />
- SetEnvIf Request_URI \.jpg image-request<br />
- SetEnvIf Request_URI \.png image-request<br />
- CustomLog logs/access_log common env=!image-request
- </code></p></div>
-
-
- <h3><a name="image-theft" id="image-theft">Prevent "Image Theft"</a></h3>
-
-
- <p>This example shows how to keep people not on your server
- from using images on your server as inline-images on their
- pages. This is not a recommended configuration, but it can work
- in limited circumstances. We assume that all your images are in
- a directory called /web/images.</p>
-
- <div class="example"><p><code>
- SetEnvIf Referer "^http://www\.example\.com/" local_referal<br />
- # Allow browsers that do not send Referer info<br />
- SetEnvIf Referer "^$" local_referal<br />
- &lt;Directory /web/images&gt;<br />
- <span class="indent">
- Order Deny,Allow<br />
- Deny from all<br />
- Allow from env=local_referal
- </span>
- &lt;/Directory&gt;
- </code></p></div>
-
- <p>For more information about this technique, see the
- "<a href="http://www.serverwatch.com/tutorials/article.php/1132731">Keeping Your Images from Adorning Other Sites</a>" tutorial on
- ServerWatch.</p>
