50cfe8bbbaf4279375802531268e2bf0155215fetrawick<P>Interoperability problems have led to the introduction of
50cfe8bbbaf4279375802531268e2bf0155215fetrawickmechanisms to modify the way Apache behaves when talking to particular
50cfe8bbbaf4279375802531268e2bf0155215fetrawickclients. To make these mechanisms as flexible as possible, they
50cfe8bbbaf4279375802531268e2bf0155215fetrawickare invoked by defining environment variables, typically with
50cfe8bbbaf4279375802531268e2bf0155215fetrawick<A HREF="mod/mod_browser.html#browsermatch">BrowserMatch</A>, though
50cfe8bbbaf4279375802531268e2bf0155215fetrawick<A HREF="mod/mod_env.html#passenv">PassEnv</A> could also be used, for
50cfe8bbbaf4279375802531268e2bf0155215fetrawickexample.</P>
50cfe8bbbaf4279375802531268e2bf0155215fetrawickThis disables <A HREF="mod/core.html#keepalive">KeepAlive</A> when set. Because
50cfe8bbbaf4279375802531268e2bf0155215fetrawickof problems with Netscape 2.x and KeepAlive, we recommend the following
50cfe8bbbaf4279375802531268e2bf0155215fetrawickdirective be used:
50cfe8bbbaf4279375802531268e2bf0155215fetrawickBrowserMatch Mozilla/2 nokeepalive
50cfe8bbbaf4279375802531268e2bf0155215fetrawickThis forces an HTTP/1.0 response when set. It was originally implemented as a
50cfe8bbbaf4279375802531268e2bf0155215fetrawickresult of a problem with AOL's proxies. Some clients may not behave correctly
50cfe8bbbaf4279375802531268e2bf0155215fetrawickwhen given an HTTP/1.1 response, and this can be used to interoperate with
50cfe8bbbaf4279375802531268e2bf0155215fetrawick<p>This forces the request to be treated as a HTTP/1.0 request even if it
50cfe8bbbaf4279375802531268e2bf0155215fetrawickwas in a later dialect.
