<summary>
<p>This module makes it easy to restrict which handlers may be used for a
request. A possible configuration would be:</p>

<highlight language="config">
&lt;Location "/"&gt;
  AllowHandlers not server-info server-status balancer-manager ldap-status
&lt;/Location&gt;
</highlight>

<p>It also registers a handler named <code>forbidden</code> that simply
returns 403 FORBIDDEN to the client. This can be used with directives like
<directive module="mod_mime">AddHandler</directive>.</p>

<description>Restrict access to the listed handlers</description>
<syntax>AllowHandlers [not] none|<em>handler-name</em>
[none|<em>handler-name</em>]...</syntax>
<default>AllowHandlers all</default>
<contextlist><context>directory</context></contextlist>
<status>Experimental</status>

<usage>

<p>The handler names are case sensitive. The special name
<code>none</code> can be used to match the case where no handler has been
set. The special value <code>all</code> can be used to allow all
handlers again in a later config section, even if some headers were denied
earlier in the configuration merge order:</p>

<highlight language="config">
&lt;Location "/server-status"&gt;
  AllowHandlers all
  SetHandler server-status
&lt;/Location&gt;
</highlight>
