Hi,
We are trying to have an Apache (acting as a proxy) conditionally strip/remove a cookie from the incoming request, before it proxies the request.
The condition is that, on the incoming request:
- there is a specific HTTP header, MYHEADER, with a value of "MYHEADERVALUE", and
- the root of the request URL's hostname (e.g., if hostname in the request URL is "www.foo.com", then root is ".foo.com") matches a certain string, e.g., ".whatever.com"
If the conditions above are true, then we want to remove a cookie named "MYCOOKIE" from the incoming request, before forwarding the request onto the proxied host.
I think that if the conditions match, according to this:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1798431/how-to-remove-a-cookie-in-apache
something like:
RequestHeader add Cookie "MYCOOKIE='';expires='SOME_PAST_DATE'; Path=COOKIE_PATH"
would remove the cookie, but I'm not sure how to construct the expression/expr that says something like this:
<If hostname_root==whatever.com && MYHEADER=<some_string>>
RequestHeader add Cookie "MYCOOKIE=';expires='SOME_PAST_DATE'; Path=COOKIE_PATH"
</If>
Also, I'm not sure what that "SOME_PAST_DATE" should be.
Can anyone here tell me?
Thanks,
Jim
