<h2>Summary</h2>
<summary>
<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

<h2>Directives</h2>
<p>This module provides no directives.</p>

</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>

<BODY><br>
<H1>Fred's exceptionally wonderful page has moved

site.<br>

</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>
