    51      <p>A "handler" is an internal Apache representation of the
    52      action to be performed when a file is called. Generally, files
    53      have implicit handlers, based on the file type. Normally, all
    54      files are simply served by the server, but certain file types
    55      are "handled" separately.</p>
    56  
    57      <p>Handlers may also be configured explicitly, 
    58      based on either filename extensions or on location, 
    59      without relation to file type. This is
    60      advantageous both because it is a more elegant solution, and
    61      because it also allows for both a type <strong>and</strong> a
    62      handler to be associated with a file. (See also <a href="mod/mod_mime.html#multipleext">Files with Multiple
    63      Extensions</a>.)</p>
    64  
    65      <p>Handlers can either be built into the server or included in
    66      a module, or they can be added with the <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_actions.html#action">Action</a></code> directive. The
    67      built-in handlers in the standard distribution are as
    68      follows:</p>
    69  
    70      <ul>
    71        <li><strong>default-handler</strong>: Send the file using the
    72        <code>default_handler()</code>, which is the handler used by
    73        default to handle static content. (core)</li>
    74  
    75        <li><strong>send-as-is</strong>: Send file with HTTP headers
    76        as is. (<code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_asis.html">mod_asis</a></code>)</li>
    77  
    78        <li><strong>cgi-script</strong>: Treat the file as a CGI
    79        script. (<code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_cgi.html">mod_cgi</a></code>)</li>
    80  
    81        <li><strong>imap-file</strong>: Parse as an imagemap rule
    82        file. (<code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_imagemap.html">mod_imagemap</a></code>)</li>
    83  
    84        <li><strong>server-info</strong>: Get the server's
    85        configuration information. (<code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_info.html">mod_info</a></code>)</li>
    86  
    87        <li><strong>server-status</strong>: Get the server's status
    88        report. (<code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_status.html">mod_status</a></code>)</li>
    89  
    90        <li><strong>type-map</strong>: Parse as a type map file for
    91        content negotiation. (<code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_negotiation.html">mod_negotiation</a></code>)</li>
    92      </ul>

    98      <h3><a name="example1" id="example1">Modifying static content using a CGI script</a></h3>
    99        
   100  
   101        <p>The following directives will cause requests for files with
   102        the <code>html</code> extension to trigger the launch of the
   103        <code>footer.pl</code> CGI script.</p>
   104  
   105        <div class="example"><p><code>
   106          Action add-footer /cgi-bin/footer.pl<br />
   107          AddHandler add-footer .html
   108        </code></p></div>
   109  
   110        <p>Then the CGI script is responsible for sending the
   111        originally requested document (pointed to by the
   112        <code>PATH_TRANSLATED</code> environment variable) and making
   113        whatever modifications or additions are desired.</p>

   118  
   119        <p>The following directives will enable the
   120        <code>send-as-is</code> handler, which is used for files which
   121        contain their own HTTP headers. All files in the
   122        <code>/web/htdocs/asis/</code> directory will be processed by
   123        the <code>send-as-is</code> handler, regardless of their
   124        filename extensions.</p>
   125  
   126        <div class="example"><p><code>
   127          &lt;Directory /web/htdocs/asis&gt;<br />
   128          SetHandler send-as-is<br />
   129          &lt;/Directory&gt;

   137  
   138      <p>In order to implement the handler features, an addition has
   139      been made to the <a href="developer/API.html">Apache API</a> that
   140      you may wish to make use of. Specifically, a new record has
   141      been added to the <code>request_rec</code> structure:</p>
   142  
   143      <div class="example"><p><code>
   144        char *handler
   145      </code></p></div>
   146  
   147      <p>If you wish to have your module engage a handler, you need
   148      only to set <code>r-&gt;handler</code> to the name of the
   149      handler at any time prior to the <code>invoke_handler</code>
   150      stage of the request. Handlers are implemented as they were
   151      before, albeit using the handler name instead of a content
   152      type. While it is not necessary, the naming convention for
   153      handlers is to use a dash-separated word, with no slashes, so
   154      as to not invade the media type name-space.</p>
