<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 <a href="../misc/FAQ.html#regex">regular
expressions</a> you specify. These environment variables 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>
<blockquote>
<pre>
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla netscape
BrowserMatch MSIE !netscape
</pre>
</blockquote>
<p>For additional information, we provide a document on <a

<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 case-INsensitive matching,
see the <a
href="#browsermatchnocase"><samp>BrowserMatchNoCase</samp></a>
directive.</p>
<p>The <samp>BrowserMatch</samp> and
<samp>BrowserMatchNoCase</samp> directives are special cases of
the <a href="#setenvif"><samp>SetEnvIf</samp></a> and <a
href="#setenvifnocase"><samp>SetEnvIfNoCase</samp></a>
directives. The following two lines have the same effect:</p>
<pre>
BrowserMatchNoCase Robot is_a_robot
SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent Robot is_a_robot
</pre>

matching are only available with 1.3.7 and later; use in
.htaccess files only supported with 1.3.13 and later</p>
<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://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt">RFC2616</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_Protocol</samp> - the name and version of
the protocol with which the request was made (<em>e.g.</em>,
"HTTP/0.9", "HTTP/1.1", <em>etc.</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>If the <em>attribute</em> name doesn't match any of the
special keywords, nor any of the request's header field names,
it is tested as the name of an environment variable in the list
of those associated with the request. This allows
<code>SetEnvIf</code> directives to test against the result of
prior matches.</p>
<blockquote>
<strong>Only those environment variables defined by earlier
<code>SetEnvIf[NoCase]</code> directives are available for
testing in this manner. 'Earlier' means that they were
defined at a broader scope (such as server-wide) or
previously in the current directive's scope.</strong>
</blockquote>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre>
SetEnvIf Request_URI "\.gif$" object_is_image=gif
SetEnvIf Request_URI "\.jpg$" object_is_image=jpg
SetEnvIf Request_URI "\.xbm$" object_is_image=xbm
:
SetEnvIf Referer www\.mydomain\.com intra_site_referral
:
SetEnvIf object_is_image xbm XBIT_PROCESSING=1
</pre>
<p>The first three will set the environment variable
<samp>object_is_image</samp> if the request was for an image
file, and the fourth sets <samp>intra_site_referral</samp> if
the referring page was somewhere on the
<samp>www.mydomain.com</samp> Web site.</p>

SetEnvIfNoCase Host Apache\.Org site=apache
</pre>
<p>This will cause the <samp>site</samp> environment variable
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.</p>
