37<h3>Summary</h3>
38
39
40    <p>The <code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_setenvif.html">mod_setenvif</a></code> module allows you to set
41    internal environment variables according to whether different aspects of
42    the request match regular expressions you specify. These
43    environment variables can be used by other parts of the server
44    to make decisions about actions to be taken, as well as becoming
45    available to CGI scripts and SSI pages.</p>
46
47    <p>The directives are considered in the order they appear in
48    the configuration files. So more complex sequences can be used,
49    such as this example, which sets <code>netscape</code> if the
50    browser is mozilla but not MSIE.</p>
51
52<div class="example"><p><code>
53  BrowserMatch ^Mozilla netscape<br />
54  BrowserMatch MSIE !netscape<br />

81  <p>The <code class="directive">BrowserMatch</code> is a special cases of the
82  <code class="directive"><a href="#setenvif">SetEnvIf</a></code> directive that
83  sets environment variables conditional on the

112    <p>The <code class="directive">BrowserMatchNoCase</code> directive is
113    semantically identical to the <code class="directive"><a href="#browsermatch">BrowserMatch</a></code> directive.
114    However, it provides for case-insensitive matching. For
115    example:</p>
116<div class="example"><p><code>

118    BrowserMatchNoCase win platform=windows<br />

143</table>
144    <p>The <code class="directive">SetEnvIf</code> directive defines
145    environment variables based on attributes of the request. The
146    <em>attribute</em> specified in the first argument can be one of three
147    things:</p>
148
149<ol>
150<li>An HTTP request header field (see <a href="http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt">RFC2616</a>
151    for more information about these); for example: <code>Host</code>,
152    <code>User-Agent</code>, <code>Referer</code>, and 
153    <code>Accept-Language</code>.  A regular expression may be
154    used to specify a set of request headers.</li>
155
156<li>One of the following aspects of the request:
157    <ul>
158      <li><code>Remote_Host</code> - the hostname (if available) of
159      the client making the request</li>
160
161      <li><code>Remote_Addr</code> - the IP address of the client
162      making the request</li>
163
164      <li><code>Server_Addr</code> - the IP address of the server
165      on which the request was received (only with versions later
166      than 2.0.43)</li>
167
168      <li><code>Request_Method</code> - the name of the method
169      being used (<code>GET</code>, <code>POST</code>, <em>et
170      cetera</em>)</li>
171
172      <li><code>Request_Protocol</code> - the name and version of
173      the protocol with which the request was made (<em>e.g.</em>,
174      "HTTP/0.9", "HTTP/1.1", <em>etc.</em>)</li>
175
176      <li><code>Request_URI</code> - the resource requested on the HTTP
177       request line -- generally the portion of the URL
178      following the scheme and host portion without the query string. See
179      the <code class="directive"><a href="/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewritecond">RewriteCond</a></code>
180      directive of <code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_rewrite.html">mod_rewrite</a></code> for extra information on
181      how to match your query string.</li>
182    </ul>
183</li>
184
185<li>The name of an environment variable in the list of those
186associated with the request. This allows
187<code class="directive">SetEnvIf</code> directives to test against the result
188of prior matches. Only those environment variables defined by earlier
189<code>SetEnvIf[NoCase]</code> directives are available for testing in
190this manner. 'Earlier' means that they were defined at a broader scope
191(such as server-wide) or previously in the current directive's scope.
192Environment variables will be considered only if there was no match
193among request characteristics and a regular expression was not
194used for the <em>attribute</em>.</li>
195</ol>
196
197<p>The second argument (<em>regex</em>) is a <a class="glossarylink" href="/glossary.html#regex" title="see glossary">regular expression</a>.  If the <em>regex</em>
198matches against the <em>attribute</em>, then the remainder of the
199arguments are evaluated.</p>
200
201<p>The rest of the arguments give the names of variables to set, and
202optionally values to which they should be set. These take the form
203of</p>
204
205    <ol>
206      <li><code><em>varname</em></code>, or</li>
207
208      <li><code>!<em>varname</em></code>, or</li>
209
210      <li><code><em>varname</em>=<em>value</em></code></li>
211    </ol>
212
213    <p>In the first form, the value will be set to "1". The second
214    will remove the given variable if already defined, and the
215    third will set the variable to the literal value given by
216    <code><em>value</em></code>. Since version 2.0.51 Apache will
217    recognize occurrences of <code>$1</code>..<code>$9</code> within
218    <var>value</var> and replace them by parenthesized subexpressions
219    of <var>regex</var>.</p>
220
221<div class="example"><h3>Example:</h3><p><code>
222
223   SetEnvIf Request_URI "\.gif$" object_is_image=gif<br />
224   SetEnvIf Request_URI "\.jpg$" object_is_image=jpg<br />
225   SetEnvIf Request_URI "\.xbm$" object_is_image=xbm<br />
226        :<br />
227   SetEnvIf Referer www\.mydomain\.example\.com intra_site_referral<br />
228        :<br />
229   SetEnvIf object_is_image xbm XBIT_PROCESSING=1<br />
230        :<br />
231   SetEnvIf ^TS*  ^[a-z].*  HAVE_TS<br />
232</code></p></div>
233
234    <p>The first three will set the environment variable
235    <code>object_is_image</code> if the request was for an image
236    file, and the fourth sets <code>intra_site_referral</code> if
237    the referring page was somewhere on the
238    <code>www.mydomain.example.com</code> Web site.</p>
239
240    <p>The last example will set environment variable
241    <code>HAVE_TS</code> if the request contains any headers that
242    begin with "TS" whose values begins with any character in the
243    set [a-z].</p>
