- <p>A "handler" is an internal Apache representation of the
- action to be performed when a file is called. 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>
-
- <li><strong>send-as-is</strong>: Send file with HTTP headers
- as is. (<a href="mod/mod_asis.html">mod_asis</a>)</li>
-
- <li><strong>cgi-script</strong>: Treat the file as a CGI
- script. (<a href="mod/mod_cgi.html">mod_cgi</a>)</li>
-
- <li><strong>imap-file</strong>: Parse as an imagemap rule
- file. (<a href="mod/mod_imap.html">mod_imap</a>)</li>
-
- <li><strong>server-info</strong>: Get the server's
- configuration information. (<a
- href="mod/mod_info.html">mod_info</a>)</li>
-
- <li><strong>server-parsed</strong>: Parse for server-side
- includes. (<a
- href="mod/mod_include.html">mod_include</a>)</li>
-
- <li><strong>server-status</strong>: Get the server's status
- report. (<a href="mod/mod_status.html">mod_status</a>)</li>
-
- <li><strong>type-map</strong>: Parse as a type map file for
- content negotiation. (<a
- href="mod/mod_negotiation.html">mod_negotiation</a>)</li>
- </ul>

- <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>
- &lt;Directory /web/htdocs/asis&gt;
- SetHandler send-as-is
- &lt;/Directory&gt;
-</pre>

- <h2><a id="programmer" 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-&gt;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>
