Generally, files have implicit -handlers, based on the file type. Normally, all files are simply -served by the server, but certain file types are "handled" -separately.</P> - -<P>Apache 1.1 adds the ability to use handlers explicitly. Based on -either filename extensions or on location, handlers can be specified -without relation to file type. This is advantageous both because it is -a more elegant solution, and because it also allows for both a type -<STRONG>and</STRONG> a handler to be associated with a file. (See also -<A HREF="mod/mod_mime.html#multipleext">Files with Multiple -Extensions</A>.)</p> - -<P>Handlers can either be built into the server or included in a module, -or they can be added with the <A -HREF="mod/mod_actions.html#action">Action</A> directive. The built-in -handlers in the standard distribution are as follows:</P> - -<UL> -<LI><STRONG>default-handler</STRONG>: - Send the file using the <CODE>default_handler()</CODE>, which is the - handler used by default to handle static content. - (core) -<LI><STRONG>send-as-is</STRONG>: - Send file with HTTP headers as is. - (<A HREF="mod/mod_asis.html">mod_asis</A>) -<LI><STRONG>cgi-script</STRONG>: - Treat the file as a CGI script. - (<A HREF="mod/mod_cgi.html">mod_cgi</A>) -<LI><STRONG>imap-file</STRONG>: - Parse as an imagemap rule file. - (<A HREF="mod/mod_imap.html">mod_imap</A>) -<LI><STRONG>server-info</STRONG>: - Get the server's configuration information. - (<A HREF="mod/mod_info.html">mod_info</A>) -<LI><STRONG>server-status</STRONG>: - Get the server's status report. - (<A HREF="mod/mod_status.html">mod_status</A>) -<LI><STRONG>type-map</STRONG>: - Parse as a type map file for content negotiation. - (<A HREF="mod/mod_negotiation.html">mod_negotiation</A>) -</UL> - -<hr> - -<h2><a name="examples">Examples</a></h2> - -<h3>Modifying static content using a CGI script</h3> - -<p>The following directives will cause requests for files with the -<code>html</code> extension to trigger the launch of the -<code>footer.pl</code> CGI script.</p> - -<pre> - Action add-footer /cgi-bin/footer.pl - AddHandler add-footer .html -</pre> - -<p>Then the CGI script is responsible for sending the originally -requested document (pointed to by the <code>PATH_TRANSLATED</code> -environment variable) and making whatever modifications or additions -are desired.</p> - -<h3>Files with HTTP headers</h3> - -<p>The following directives will enable the <code>send-as-is</code> -handler, which is used for files which contain their own HTTP headers. -All files in the <code>/web/htdocs/asis/</code> directory will be -processed by the <code>send-as-is</code> handler, regardless of their -filename extensions.</p> - -<pre> - <Directory /web/htdocs/asis> - SetHandler send-as-is - </Directory> -</pre> - -<hr> - -<H2><a name="programmer">Programmer's Note</a></H2> - -<P>In order to implement the handler features, an addition has been -made to the <A HREF="misc/API.html">Apache API</A> that you may wish to -make use of. Specifically, a new record has been added to the -<CODE>request_rec</CODE> structure:</P> -<PRE> - char *handler -</PRE> -<P>If you wish to have your module engage a handler, you need only to -set <CODE>r->handler</CODE> to the name of the handler at any time -prior to the <CODE>invoke_handler</CODE> stage of the -request. Handlers are implemented as they were before, albeit using -the handler name instead of a content type. While it is not -necessary, the naming convention for handlers is to use a -dash-separated word, with no slashes, so as to not invade the media -type name-space.</P> - -<!--#include virtual="footer.html" --> -</BODY> -</HTML> - |
