Apache HTTP Server Version 1.3
Module mod_asis
This module provides for sending files which contain their own HTTP headers.
Status:
Base
Source
File: mod_asis.c
Module
Identifier: asis_module
Summary
This module provides the handler send-as-is which causes Apache to send the
document without adding most of the usual HTTP headers.
This can be used to send any kind of data from the server, including redirects and other
special HTTP responses, without requiring a cgi-script or an nph script.
For historical reasons, this module will also process any file with the mime type httpd/send-as-is.
Directives
This module provides no directives.
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. Clients will need HTTP headers to be attached, so do not
forget them. A Status: header is also required; the data should be the 3-digit HTTP response
code, followed by a textual message.
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.
