<h2>Summary</h2>
|
|
This module provides directives to control and modify HTTP
|
|
request and response headers. Headers can be merged, replaced
|
|
or removed.
|
|
|
|
<h2>Directives</h2>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><a href="#requestheader">RequestHeader</a></li>
|
|
|
|
<li><a href="#header">Header</a></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Order of Processing</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The directives provided by mod_header can occur almost
|
|
anywhere within the server configuration. They are valid in the
|
|
main server config and virtual host sections, inside
|
|
<Directory>, <Location> and <Files> sections,
|
|
and within .htaccess files.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The directives are processed in the following order:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>main server</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>virtual host</li>
|
|
|
|
<li><Directory> sections and .htaccess</li>
|
|
|
|
<li><Location></li>
|
|
|
|
<li><Files></li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<p>Order is important. These two headers have a different
|
|
effect if reversed:</p>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<code>RequestHeader append MirrorID "mirror 12"<br />
|
|
RequestHeader unset MirrorID</code>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<p>This way round, the MirrorID header is not set. If reversed,
|
|
the MirrorID header is set to "mirror 12".</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Examples</h2>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Copy all request headers that begin with "TS" to the
|
|
response headers:</li>
|
|
|
|
<li style="list-style: none">
|
|
<pre>
|
|
Header echo ^TS*
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Add a header, MyHeader, 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.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li style="list-style: none">
|
|
<pre>
|
|
Header add MyHeader "%D %t"
|
|
</pre>
|
|
results in this header being added to the response:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
MyHeader: D=3775428 t=991424704447256
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Say hello to Joe</li>
|
|
|
|
<li style="list-style: none">
|
|
<pre>
|
|
Header add MyHeader "Hello Joe. It took %D microseconds for Apache to serve this request."
|
|
</pre>
|
|
results in this header being added to the response:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
MyHeader: Hello Joe. It took D=3775428 microseconds for Apache to serve this request.
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Conditionally send MyHeader 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
|
|
mod_setenvif module.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li style="list-style: none">
|
|
<pre>
|
|
SetEnvIf MyRequestHeader value HAVE_MyRequestHeader<br />
|
|
Header add MyHeader "%D %t mytext" env=HAVE_MyRequestHeader
|
|
</pre>
|
|
If the header "MyRequestHeader: value" is present on the
|
|
HTTP request, the response will contain the following
|
|
header:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
MyHeader: D=3775428 t=991424704447256 mytext
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ol>

|
|
|
|
<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>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><strong>set</strong><br />
|
|
The request header is set, replacing any previous header
|
|
with this name</li>
|
|
|
|
<li><strong>append</strong><br />
|
|
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.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li><strong>add</strong><br />
|
|
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 "append" should be
|
|
used instead.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li><strong>unset</strong><br />
|
|
The request header of this name is removed, if it exists. If
|
|
there are multiple headers of the same name, all will be
|
|
removed.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<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 value is given as the third argument. If
|
|
this value contains spaces, it should be surrounded by double
|
|
quotes. For unset, no value should be given.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <code>RequestHeader</code> 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>

|
|
|
|
<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>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><strong>set</strong><br />
|
|
The response header is set, replacing any previous header
|
|
with this name. The <em>value</em> may be a format
|
|
string.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li><strong>append</strong><br />
|
|
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.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li><strong>add</strong><br />
|
|
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.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li><strong>unset</strong><br />
|
|
The response header of this name is removed, if it exists.
|
|
If there are multiple headers of the same name, all will be
|
|
removed.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li><strong>echo</strong><br />
|
|
Request headers with this name are echoed back in the
|
|
response headers. <em>header</em> may be a regular
|
|
expression.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>This argument is followed by a <em>header</em> name, which
|
|
can include the final colon, but it is not required. Case is
|
|
ignored for set, append, add and unset. The <em>header</em>
|
|
name for echo is case sensitive and may be a regular
|
|
expression.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For <code>add</code>, <code>append</code> and
|
|
<code>set</code> a <em>value</em> is specified as the third
|
|
argument. If <em>value</em> contains spaces, it should be
|
|
surrounded by doublequotes. <em>value</em> may be a character
|
|
string, a string containing format specifiers or a combination
|
|
of both. The following format specifiers are supported in
|
|
<em>value</em>:</p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
%t: The time the request was received in Universal Coordinated Time
|
|
since the epoch (Jan. 1, 1970) measured in microseconds. The
|
|
value is preceded by "t=".
|
|
%D: 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 "D=".
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>When the <code>Header</code> 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 <code>Header</code> directive
|
|
will take effect. Otherwise, the directive will have no effect
|
|
on the request.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The Header 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>
