+Interoperability problems have led to the introduction of
mechanisms to modify the way Apache behaves when talking to particular
clients. To make these mechanisms as flexible as possible, they
are invoked by defining environment variables, typically with
BrowserMatch, though
SetEnv and
PassEnv could also be used, for
-example.Special Purpose Environment Variables

-BrowserMatch Mozilla/2 nokeepalive

++This forces the request to be treated as a HTTP/1.0 request even if it +was in a later dialect. +
+ +
+This causes any Vary
fields to be removed from the response
+header before it is sent back to the client. Some clients don't
+interpret this field correctly (see the
+known client problems
+page); setting this variable can work around this problem. Setting
+this variable also implies force-response-1.0.

This forces an HTTP/1.0 response when set. It was originally implemented as a result of a problem with AOL's proxies. Some clients may not behave correctly when given an HTTP/1.1 response, and this can be used to interoperate with them. +
