    <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>
</div><div id="quickview"><h3 class="directives">Directives</h3><p>This module provides no directives.</p><h3>Topics</h3><ul id="topics"><li><img alt="" src="../images/down.gif" /> Usage</li></ul><h3>See also</h3><ul class="seealso"><li><code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_headers.html">mod_headers</a></code></li><li><code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_cern_meta.html">mod_cern_meta</a></code></li></ul></div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div><div class="section"><h2>Usage</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. 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>


<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>

    <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>
