c82fca6d3f5608b946f18d37e8710b1d71e3478dnd <p>This module provides the handler <code>send-as-is</code>

c82fca6d3f5608b946f18d37e8710b1d71e3478dnd which causes Apache to send the document without adding most of

c82fca6d3f5608b946f18d37e8710b1d71e3478dnd the usual HTTP headers.</p>

c82fca6d3f5608b946f18d37e8710b1d71e3478dnd

c82fca6d3f5608b946f18d37e8710b1d71e3478dnd <p>This can be used to send any kind of data from the server,

c82fca6d3f5608b946f18d37e8710b1d71e3478dnd including redirects and other special HTTP responses, without

c82fca6d3f5608b946f18d37e8710b1d71e3478dnd requiring a cgi-script or an nph script.</p>

c82fca6d3f5608b946f18d37e8710b1d71e3478dnd <p>In the server configuration file, associate files with the

c82fca6d3f5608b946f18d37e8710b1d71e3478dnd <code>send-as-is</code> handler <em>e.g.</em></p>

c82fca6d3f5608b946f18d37e8710b1d71e3478dnd <p>The contents of any file with a <code>.asis</code> extension

c82fca6d3f5608b946f18d37e8710b1d71e3478dnd will then be sent by Apache to the client with almost no

c82fca6d3f5608b946f18d37e8710b1d71e3478dnd changes. Clients will need HTTP headers to be attached, so do

c82fca6d3f5608b946f18d37e8710b1d71e3478dnd not forget them. A Status: header is also required; the data

c82fca6d3f5608b946f18d37e8710b1d71e3478dnd should be the 3-digit HTTP response code, followed by a textual

c82fca6d3f5608b946f18d37e8710b1d71e3478dnd message.</p>

<p>The server always adds a <code>Date:</code> and <code>Server:</code>

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

<code>Last-Modified</code> header; it probably should.</p>
