<summary>
|
|
<p>This module provides directives to control and modify HTTP
|
|
request and response headers. Headers can be merged, replaced
|
|
or removed.</p>
|
|
</summary>
|
|
|
|
<section id="order"><title>Order of Processing</title>
|
|
|
|
<p>The directives provided by <module>mod_headers</module> can occur
|
|
almost anywhere within the server configuration. They are valid in the
|
|
main server config and virtual host sections, inside
|
|
<directive module="core" type="section">Directory</directive>,
|
|
<directive module="core" type="section">Location</directive> and
|
|
<directive module="core" type="section">Files</directive> sections,
|
|
and within <code>.htaccess</code> files.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The directives are processed in the following order:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>main server</li>
|
|
<li>virtual host</li>
|
|
<li><directive type="section">Directory</directive> sections and
|
|
<code>.htaccess</code></li>
|
|
<li><directive type="section">Files</directive></li>
|
|
<li><directive type="section">Location</directive></li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<p>Order is important. These two headers have a different
|
|
effect if reversed:</p>
|
|
|
|
<example>
|
|
RequestHeader append MirrorID "mirror 12"<br />
|
|
RequestHeader unset MirrorID
|
|
</example>
|
|
|
|
<p>This way round, the <code>MirrorID</code> header is not set. If
|
|
reversed, the MirrorID header is set to "mirror 12".</p>

<section id="examples"><title>Examples</title>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Copy all request headers that begin with "TS" to the
|
|
response headers:
|
|
|
|
<example>
|
|
Header echo ^TS
|
|
</example>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
Add a header, <code>MyHeader</code>, to the response including a
|
|
timestamp for when the request was received and how long it
|
|
took to begin serving the request. This header can be used by
|
|
the client to intuit load on the server or in isolating
|
|
bottlenecks between the client and the server.
|
|
|
|
<example>
|
|
Header add MyHeader "%D %t"
|
|
</example>
|
|
|
|
<p>results in this header being added to the response:</p>
|
|
|
|
<example>
|
|
MyHeader: D=3775428 t=991424704447256
|
|
</example>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
Say hello to Joe
|
|
|
|
<example>
|
|
Header add MyHeader "Hello Joe. It took %D microseconds \<br />
|
|
for Apache to serve this request."
|
|
</example>
|
|
|
|
<p>results in this header being added to the response:</p>
|
|
|
|
<example>
|
|
MyHeader: Hello Joe. It took D=3775428 microseconds for Apache
|
|
to serve this request.
|
|
</example>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
Conditionally send <code>MyHeader</code> on the response if and
|
|
only if header "MyRequestHeader" is present on the request. This
|
|
is useful for constructing headers in response to some client
|
|
stimulus. Note that this example requires the services of the
|
|
<module>mod_setenvif</module> module.
|
|
|
|
<example>
|
|
SetEnvIf MyRequestHeader value HAVE_MyRequestHeader<br />
|
|
Header add MyHeader "%D %t mytext" env=HAVE_MyRequestHeader<br />
|
|
</example>
|
|
|
|
<p>If the header <code>MyRequestHeader: value</code> is present on
|
|
the HTTP request, the response will contain the following header:</p>
|
|
|
|
<example>
|
|
MyHeader: D=3775428 t=991424704447256 mytext
|
|
</example>
|
|
</li>
|

</ol>

<usage>
|
|
<p>This directive can replace, merge or remove HTTP request
|
|
headers. The header is modified just before the content handler
|
|
is run, allowing incoming headers to be modified. The action it
|
|
performs is determined by the first argument. This can be one
|
|
of the following values:</p>
|
|
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt><code>set</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>The request header is set, replacing any previous header
|
|
with this name</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><code>append</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>The request header is appended to any existing header of the
|
|
same name. When a new value is merged onto an existing header
|
|
it is separated from the existing header with a comma. This
|
|
is the HTTP standard way of giving a header multiple
|
|
values.</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><code>add</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>The request header is added to the existing set of headers,
|
|
even if this header already exists. This can result in two
|
|
(or more) headers having the same name. This can lead to
|
|
unforeseen consequences, and in general <code>append</code> should be
|
|
used instead.</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><code>unset</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>The request header of this name is removed, if it exists. If
|
|
there are multiple headers of the same name, all will be removed.</dd>
|
|
</dl>
|
|
|
|
<p>This argument is followed by a header name, which can
|
|
include the final colon, but it is not required. Case is
|
|
ignored. For <code>add</code>, <code>append</code> and
|
|
<code>set</code> a <var>value</var> is given as the third argument. If
|
|
<var>value</var> contains spaces, it should be surrounded by double
|
|
quotes. For unset, no <var>value</var> should be given.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <directive>RequestHeader</directive> directive is processed
|
|
just before the request is run by its handler in the fixup phase.
|
|
This should allow headers generated by the browser, or by Apache
|
|
input filters to be overridden or modified.</p>

<usage>
|
|
<p>This directive can replace, merge or remove HTTP response
|
|
headers. The header is modified just after the content handler
|
|
and output filters are run, allowing outgoing headers to be
|
|
modified. The action it performs is determined by the first
|
|
argument. This can be one of the following values:</p>
|
|
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt><code>set</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>The response header is set, replacing any previous header
|
|
with this name. The <var>value</var> may be a format string.</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><code>append</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>The response header is appended to any existing header of
|
|
the same name. When a new value is merged onto an existing
|
|
header it is separated from the existing header with a comma.
|
|
This is the HTTP standard way of giving a header multiple values.</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><code>add</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>The response header is added to the existing set of headers,
|
|
even if this header already exists. This can result in two
|
|
(or more) headers having the same name. This can lead to
|
|
unforeseen consequences, and in general "append" should be
|
|
used instead.</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><code>unset</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>The response header of this name is removed, if it exists.
|
|
If there are multiple headers of the same name, all will be
|
|
removed.</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt><code>echo</code></dt>
|
|
<dd>Request headers with this name are echoed back in the
|
|
response headers. <var>header</var> may be a regular expression.</dd>
|
|
</dl>
|
|
|
|
<p>This argument is followed by a <var>header</var> name, which
|
|
can include the final colon, but it is not required. Case is
|
|
ignored for <code>set</code>, <code>append</code>, <code>add</code>
|
|
and <code>unset</code>. The <var>header</var> name for <code>echo</code>
|
|
is case sensitive and may be a regular expression.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For <code>add</code>, <code>append</code> and <code>set</code> a
|
|
<var>value</var> is specified as the third argument. If <var>value</var>
|
|
contains spaces, it should be surrounded by doublequotes.
|
|
<var>value</var> may be a character string, a string containing format
|
|
specifiers or a combination of both. The following format specifiers
|
|
are supported in <var>value</var>:</p>
|
|
|
|
<table border="1">
|
|
<tr><td><code>%t</code></td>
|
|
<td>The time the request was received in Universal Coordinated Time
|
|
since the epoch (Jan. 1, 1970) measured in microseconds. The value
|
|
is preceded by <code>t=</code>.</td></tr>
|
|
|
|
<tr><td><code>%D</code></td>
|
|
<td>The time from when the request was received to the time the
|
|
headers are sent on the wire. This is a measure of the duration
|
|
of the request. The value is preceded by <code>D=</code>.</td></tr>
|
|
|
|
<tr><td><code>%{FOOBAR}e</code></td>
|
|
<td>The contents of the <a href="../env.html">environment
|
|
variable</a> <code>FOOBAR</code>.</td></tr>
|
|
</table>
|
|
|
|
<p>When the <directive>Header</directive> directive is used with the
|
|
<code>add</code>, <code>append</code>, or <code>set</code>
|
|
argument, a fourth argument may be used to specify conditions
|
|
under which the action will be taken. If the <a
|
|
href="../env.html">environment variable</a> specified in the
|
|
<code>env=...</code> argument exists (or if the environment
|
|
variable does not exist and <code>env=!...</code> is specified)
|
|
then the action specified by the <directive>Header</directive> directive
|
|
will take effect. Otherwise, the directive will have no effect
|
|
on the request.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <directive>Header</directive> directives are processed just
|
|
before the response is sent to the network. These means that it is
|
|
possible to set and/or override most headers, except for those headers
|
|
added by the header filter.</p>
