<description>Convert response body into an RFC2397 data URL</description>

<summary>
    <p>This module provides the ability to convert a response into
    an <rfc>2397</rfc> (data URL).
    </p>

    <p>Data URLs can be embedded inline within web pages using something
    like the <module>mod_include</module> module, to remove the need for
    clients to make separate connections to fetch what may potentially be
    many small images. Data URLs may also be included into pages generated
    by scripting languages such as PHP.</p>

    <example><title>An example of a data URL</title>
        data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODdhMAAwAPAAAAAAAP///ywAAAAAMAAw<br />

    </example>

    <p>The filter takes no parameters, and can be added to the filter stack
    using the <directive module="core">SetOutputFilter</directive> directive,
    or any of the directives supported by the <module>mod_filter</module>
    module.</p>

    <example><title>Configuring the filter</title>
    <highlight language="config">
&lt;Location "/data/images"&gt;
    SetOutputFilter DATA
&lt;/Location&gt;
