| <p>This module provides for sending files which contain their |

| <h2>Summary</h2> |
| |
| <p>This module provides the handler <code>send-as-is</code> |
| which causes Apache to send the document without adding most of |
| the usual HTTP headers.</p> |
| |
| <p>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.</p> |
| |
| <p>For historical reasons, this module will also process any |
| file with the mime type <code>httpd/send-as-is</code>.</p> |
| |
| <h2>Directives</h2> |
| |
| <p>This module provides no directives.</p> |
| |
| <h2>Usage</h2> |
| |
| <p>In the server configuration file, associate files with the |
| <code>send-as-is</code> handler <em>e.g.</em></p> |
| |
| <blockquote> |
| <code>AddHandler send-as-is asis</code> |
| </blockquote> |
| The contents of any file with a <code>.asis</code> 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. |
| |
| <p>Here's an example of a file whose contents are sent <em>as |
| is</em> so as to tell the client that a file has |
| redirected.</p> |
| |
| <blockquote> |
| <code>Status: 301 Now where did I leave that URL<br /> |
| Location: http://xyz.abc.com/foo/bar.html<br /> |
| Content-type: text/html<br /> |
| <br /> |
| <HTML><br /> |
| <HEAD><br /> |
| <TITLE>Lame excuses'R'us</TITLE><br /> |
| </HEAD><br /> |
| <BODY><br /> |
| <H1>Fred's exceptionally wonderful page has moved |
| to<br /> |
| <A |
| HREF="http://xyz.abc.com/foo/bar.html">Joe's</A> |
| site.<br /> |
| </H1><br /> |
| </BODY><br /> |
| </HTML></code> |
| </blockquote> |
| |
| <p>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 <em>not</em> add a |
| Last-Modified header; it probably should. |
