| <p>A <em>filter</em> is a process that is applied to data that |
| is sent or received by the server. Data sent by clients to the |
| server is processed by <em>input filters</em> while data sent |
| by the server to the client is processed by <em>output |
| filters</em>. Multiple filters can be applied to the data, and |
| the order of the filters can be explicitly specified.</p> |
| |
| <p>Filters are used internally by Apache to perform functions such |
| as chunking and byte-range request handling. In addition, modules |
| can provide filters that are selectable using run-time |
| configuration directives. The set of filters that apply to data |
| can be manipulated with the |
| <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> |
| directives.</p> |
| |
| <p>The following user-selectable filters are currently provided |
| with the Apache HTTP Server distribution.</p> |
| |
| <dl> |
| <dt>INCLUDES</dt> |
| <dd>Server-Side Includes processing by <code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_include.html">mod_include</a></code></dd> |
| <dt>DEFLATE</dt> |
| <dd>Compress output before sending it to the client using |
| <code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_deflate.html">mod_deflate</a></code> |
| </dd> |
| </dl> |
| |
| <p>In addition, the module <code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_ext_filter.html">mod_ext_filter</a></code> allows |
| for external programs to be defined as filters.</p> |
