<p>The Filter Chain is available in Apache 2.0 and higher,
|
|
and enables applications to process incoming and outgoing data
|
|
in a highly flexible and configurable manner, regardless of
|
|
where the data comes from. We can pre-process incoming data,
|
|
and post-process outgoing data, at will. This is basically
|
|
independent of the traditional request processing phases.</p>
|
|

|
<img src="images/filter_arch.png" width="569" height="392" alt="Filters can be chained, in a Data Axis orthogonal to request processing" />
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Some examples of filtering in the standard Apache distribution are:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_include.html">mod_include</a></code>, implements server-side includes.</li>
|
|
<li><code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_ssl.html">mod_ssl</a></code>, implements SSL encryption (https).</li>
|
|
<li><code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_deflate.html">mod_deflate</a></code>, implements compression/decompression on the fly.</li>
|
|
<li><code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_charset_lite.html">mod_charset_lite</a></code>, transcodes between different character sets.</li>
|
|
<li><code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_ext_filter.html">mod_ext_filter</a></code>, runs an external program as a filter.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Apache also uses a number of filters internally to perform
|
|
functions like chunking and byte-range handling.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>A wider range of applications are implemented by third-party filter
|
|
modules available from <a href="http://modules.apache.org/">modules.apache.org</a> and
|
|
elsewhere. A few of these are:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>HTML and XML processing and rewriting</li>
|
|
<li>XSLT transforms and XIncludes</li>
|
|
<li>XML Namespace support</li>
|
|
<li>File Upload handling and decoding of HTML Forms</li>
|
|
<li>Image processing</li>
|
|
<li>Protection of vulnerable applications such as PHP scripts</li>
|
|
<li>Text search-and-replace editing</li>
|
|
</ul>

</p>
|
|
<p><code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_filter.html">mod_filter</a></code>, included in Apache 2.1 and later,
|
|
enables the filter chain to be configured dynamically at run time.
|
|
So for example you can set up a proxy to rewrite
|
|
HTML with an HTML filter and JPEG images with a completely
|
|
separate filter, despite the proxy having no prior information
|
|
about what the origin server will send. This works by using a
|
|
filter harness, that dispatches to different providers according
|
|
to the actual contents at runtime. Any filter may be either
|
|
inserted directly in the chain and run unconditionally, or
|
|
used as a provider and inserted dynamically. For example,</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>an HTML processing filter will only run if the content is
|
|
text/html or application/xhtml+xml</li>
|
|
<li>A compression filter will only run if the input is a
|
|
compressible type and not already compressed</li>
|
|
<li>A charset conversion filter will be inserted if a text
|
|
document is not already in the desired charset</li>
|
|
</ul>

<h2><a name="using" id="using">Using Filters</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>There are two ways to use filtering: Simple and Dynamic.
|
|
In general, you should use one or the other; mixing them can
|
|
have unexpected consequences (although simple Input filtering
|
|
can be mixed freely with either simple or dynamic Output filtering).</p>
|
|
<p>The Simple Way is the only way to configure input filters, and is
|
|
sufficient for output filters where you need a static filter chain.
|
|
Relevant directives are
|
|
<code class="directive"><a href="./mod/core.html#setinputfilter">SetInputFilter</a></code>,
|
|
<code class="directive"><a href="./mod/core.html#setoutputfilter">SetOutputFilter</a></code>,
|
|
<code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_mime.html#addinputfilter">AddInputFilter</a></code>,
|
|
<code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_mime.html#addoutputfilter">AddOutputFilter</a></code>,
|
|
<code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_mime.html#removeinputfilter">RemoveInputFilter</a></code>, and
|
|
<code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_mime.html#removeoutputfilter">RemoveOutputFilter</a></code>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The Dynamic Way enables both static and flexible, dynamic configuration
|
|
of output filters, as discussed in the <code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_filter.html">mod_filter</a></code> page.
|
|
Relevant directives are
|
|
<code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_filter.html#filterchain">FilterChain</a></code>,
|
|
<code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_filter.html#filterdeclare">FilterDeclare</a></code>, and
|
|
<code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_filter.html#filterprovider">FilterProvider</a></code>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>One further directive <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/core.html#addoutputfilterbytype">AddOutputFilterByType</a></code> is still supported,
|
|
but may be problematic and is now deprecated. Use dynamic
|
|
configuration instead.</p>
