<P>
This module is contained in the <SAMP>mod_setenvif.c</SAMP> file, and
<STRONG>is</STRONG> compiled in by default. It provides for
the ability to set environment variables based upon attributes of the
request.
</P>
<H2>Summary</H2>
<P>
The <SAMP>mod_setenvif</SAMP> module allows you to set environment
variables according to whether different aspects of the request match
regular expressions you specify. These envariables can be used by
other parts of the server to make decisions about actions to be taken.
</P>
<P>The directives are considered in the order they appear in the
configuration files. So more complex sequences can be used, such
as this example, which sets <CODE>netscape</CODE> if the browser
is mozilla but not MSIE.

</P>
<P>
The BrowserMatch directive defines environment variables based on the
<SAMP>User-Agent</SAMP> HTTP request header field. The first argument
should be a POSIX.2 extended regular expression (similar to an
<SAMP>egrep</SAMP>-style regex). The rest of the arguments give the
names of variables to set, and optionally values to which they should
be set. These take the form of
</P>
<OL>
<LI><SAMP><EM>varname</EM></SAMP>, or
</LI>
<LI><SAMP>!<EM>varname</EM></SAMP>, or
</LI>
<LI><SAMP><EM>varname</EM>=<EM>value</EM></SAMP>
</LI>
</OL>
<P>
In the first form, the value will be set to "1". The second
will remove the given variable if already defined, and the third will
set the variable to the value given by <SAMP><EM>value</EM></SAMP>. If a
<SAMP>User-Agent</SAMP> string matches more than one entry, they will
be merged. Entries are processed in the order in which they appear,
and later entries can override earlier ones.
</P>
<P>
For example:
</P>
<PRE>
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla forms jpeg=yes browser=netscape
BrowserMatch "^Mozilla/[2-3]" tables agif frames javascript
BrowserMatch MSIE !javascript
</PRE>
<P>
Note that the regular expression string is
<STRONG>case-sensitive</STRONG>. For cane-INsensitive matching, see
the
<A
HREF="#BrowserMatchNoCase"
><SAMP>BrowserMatchNoCase</SAMP></A>
directive.
</P>

The <SAMP>SetEnvIf</SAMP> directive defines environment variables
based on attributes of the request. These attributes can be the
values of various HTTP request header fields (see
<A
HREF="http://ds.internic.net/rfc/rfc2068.txt"
>RFC2068</A>
for more information about these), or of other aspects of the request,
including the following:
</P>
<UL>
<LI><SAMP>Remote_Host</SAMP> - the hostname (if available) of the
client making the request
</LI>
<LI><SAMP>Remote_Addr</SAMP> - the IP address of the client making
the request
</LI>
<LI><SAMP>Remote_User</SAMP> - the authenticated username (if
available)
</LI>
<LI><SAMP>Request_Method</SAMP> - the name of the method being used
(<SAMP>GET</SAMP>, <SAMP>POST</SAMP>, <EM>et cetera</EM>)
</LI>
<LI><SAMP>Request_URI</SAMP> - the portion of the URL following the
scheme and host portion
</LI>
</UL>
<P>
Some of the more commonly used request header field names include
<SAMP>Host</SAMP>, <SAMP>User-Agent</SAMP>, and <SAMP>Referer</SAMP>.
</P>
<P>
Example:
</P>
<PRE>
SetEnvIf Request_URI "\.(gif)|(jpg)|(xbm)$" object_is_image
SetEnvIf Referer www\.mydomain\.com intra_site_referral
</PRE>
<P>
The first will set the envariable <SAMP>object_is_image</SAMP> if the
request was for an image file, and the second sets
<SAMP>intra_site_referral</SAMP> if the referring page was somewhere
on the <SAMP>www.mydomain.com</SAMP> Web site.

The <SAMP>SetEnvIfNoCase</SAMP> is semantically identical to the
<A
HREF="#SetEnvIf"
><SAMP>SetEnvIf</SAMP></A>
directive, and differs only in that the regular expression matching is
performed in a case-insensitive manner. For example:
</P>
<PRE>
SetEnvIfNoCase Host Apache\.Org site=apache
</PRE>
<P>
This will cause the <SAMP>site</SAMP> envariable to be set to
"<SAMP>apache</SAMP>" if the HTTP request header field
<SAMP>Host:</SAMP> was included and contained <SAMP>Apache.Org</SAMP>,
<SAMP>apache.org</SAMP>, or any other combination.
