4.10 Header customization functionality

With HTTP communication, various HTTP headers are used between the Web browser and the Web server. The Web browser and the Web server sometimes determine the subsequent operations by using the received HTTP headers. The HTTP headers added by the Web browser at the time of sending an HTTP request is called the request header, and the HTTP header added by the Web server in the response is called the response header. The functionality that is used for the Web server or the Web browser to perform a specific operation by adding, changing, or deleting the request header, which is received or sent by the Web server, is called the header customization functionality.

You can use header customization functionality by embedding the mod_headers module in HTTP Server.
