Summary

This module provides the handler send-as-is - which causes Apache to send the document without adding most of - the usual HTTP headers.

For historical reasons, this module will also process any - file with the mime type httpd/send-as-is.

Usage

Usage

- -

In the server configuration file, associate files with the - send-as-is handler e.g.

- -

AddHandler send-as-is asis

- -

The contents of any file with a .asis extension - will then be sent by Apache to the client with almost no - changes. In particular, HTTP headers are derived from the file - itself according to mod_cgi rules, so an asis - file must include valid headers, and may also use the CGI - Status: header to determine the HTTP response code.

- - -

Here's an example of a file whose contents are sent as - is so as to tell the client that a file has - redirected.

- - -

- Status: 301 Now where did I leave that URL - Location: http://xyz.abc.com/foo/bar.html - Content-type: text/html - - <html> - <head> - <title>Lame excuses'R'us</title> - </head> - <body> - <h1>Fred's exceptionally wonderful page has moved to - <a href="http://xyz.abc.com/foo/bar.html">Joe's</a> - site. - </h1> - </body> - </html> -

Notes:

The server always adds a Date: and Server: - header to the data returned to the client, so these should not be - included in the file. The server does not add a - Last-Modified header; it probably should.
