Re: Adding headers based on Content-Type

[anson ho <hotszkin@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've faced a similar problem before. The answer is that there is no easy solution with existing apache module. I need to write an apache module myself to solve the problem. My idea is come from mod_trace_output which can capture output (both headers & content) from another handler. But it doesn't work with apache 1.3x. For Apache 2.x, please refer to apache filter.

Hi there,

 

I have as situation where I need to add custom headers when the response is of a certain type, for example:

 

If the response type is “text/html” I want to add a header of “Content-Style-Type "text/css"”

If the response type is anything other that “text/html” then don’t add anything.

 

Now adding the header is no problem at all but I am struggling to find how to match whether the response type is “text/html”

 

I can match a filetype no problem, e.g

 

<FilesMatch "\.(html|htm)$">

Header set Content-Style-Type "text/css"

</FilesMatch>

 

But the content type will be sent back by dynamic content so that code chunk will not be valid.

 

Anybody have any ideas?

 

Cheers in advance
