<h3>Summary</h3>

    <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
    file with the mime type <code>httpd/send-as-is</code>.</p>

<h2><a name="usage" id="usage">Usage</a></h2>

    <p>In the server configuration file, associate files with the
    <code>send-as-is</code> handler <em>e.g.</em></p>

    <div class="example"><p><code>AddHandler send-as-is asis</code></p></div>

    <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. In particular, HTTP headers are derived from the file
    itself according to <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_cgi.html">mod_cgi</a></code> rules, so an asis
    file must include valid headers, and may also use the CGI
    Status: header to determine the HTTP response code.</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>


    <div class="example"><p><code>
      Status: 301 Now where did I leave that URL<br />
      Location: http://xyz.abc.com/foo/bar.html<br />
      Content-type: text/html<br />
      <br />
      &lt;html&gt;<br />
      &lt;head&gt;<br />
      &lt;title&gt;Lame excuses'R'us&lt;/title&gt;<br />
      &lt;/head&gt;<br />
      &lt;body&gt;<br />
      &lt;h1&gt;Fred's exceptionally wonderful page has moved to<br />
      &lt;a href="http://xyz.abc.com/foo/bar.html"&gt;Joe's&lt;/a&gt;
      site.<br />
      &lt;/h1&gt;<br />
      &lt;/body&gt;<br />
      &lt;/html&gt;
    </code></p></div>

    <div class="note"><h3>Notes:</h3>
    <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>
