  34 <h3>Summary</h3>
  35
  36     <p>This module provides the handler <code>send-as-is</code>
  37     which causes Apache HTTP Server to send the document without adding most of
  38     the usual HTTP headers.</p>
  39
  40     <p>This can be used to send any kind of data from the server,
  41     including redirects and other special HTTP responses, without
  42     requiring a cgi-script or an nph script.</p>
  43
  44     <p>For historical reasons, this module will also process any
  45     file with the mime type <code>httpd/send-as-is</code>.</p>
  46 </div>
  47 <div id="quickview"><h3 class="directives">Directives</h3>
  48 <p>This module provides no
  49             directives.</p>

  61 <h2><a name="usage" id="usage">Usage</a></h2>
  62
  63     <p>In the server configuration file, associate files with the
  64     <code>send-as-is</code> handler <em>e.g.</em></p>
  65
  66     <div class="example"><p><code>AddHandler send-as-is asis</code></p></div>
  67
  68     <p>The contents of any file with a <code>.asis</code> extension
  69     will then be sent by Apache httpd to the client with almost no
  70     changes. In particular, HTTP headers are derived from the file
  71     itself according to <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_cgi.html">mod_cgi</a></code> rules, so an asis
  72     file must include valid headers, and may also use the CGI
  73     <code>Status:</code> header to determine the HTTP response
  74     code. The <code>Content-Length:</code> header will automatically
  75     be inserted or, if included, corrected by httpd.</p>
  76
  77     <p>Here's an example of a file whose contents are sent <em>as
  78     is</em> so as to tell the client that a file has
  79     redirected.</p>

  94       site.<br />
  95       &lt;/h1&gt;<br />

  99
 100     <div class="note"><h3>Notes:</h3>
 101     <p>The server always adds a <code>Date:</code> and <code>Server:</code>
 102     header to the data returned to the client, so these should not be
 103     included in the file. The server does <em>not</em> add a
 104     <code>Last-Modified</code> header; it probably should.</p>
