<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
</summary><h2>Directives</h2><p>This module provides no directives.</p><h2>Usage</h2>
<p>In the server configuration file, associate files with the
<blockquote><table cellpadding="10"><tr><td bgcolor="#eeeeee"><code>AddHandler send-as-is asis</code></td></tr></table></blockquote>
<p>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>
<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><table cellpadding="10"><tr><td bgcolor="#eeeeee"><code>Status: 301 Now where did I leave that URL<br>
Location: http://xyz.abc.com/foo/bar.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></td></tr></table></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. </p>
