What is a Handler . ... mod_actions . ... 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. Apache 1.1 adds the ability to use handlers explicitly. ... The following directives will enable the send-as-is handler, which is used for files which contain their own HTTP headers. ...
