Content Filtering in Apache
The strength of the Apache Filter chain is the ability to process a
data stream independently of the generation of the stream, so we can
apply identical processing to, for example, a static file, a CGI script,
or a proxy handler.
Some examples of content filter modules for Apache
include
- mod_include, Apache's implementation of Server Side Includes.
- mod_transform transforms XML
markup using an XSLT stylesheet.
- mod_proxy_html rewrites HTML links into a proxy's
address space
- mod_charset_lite changes the character encoding of
text files served.
- mod_deflate compresses or uncompresses files according
to browser preferences.
