We can pre-process incoming data, +and post-process outgoing data, at will. This is basically +independent of the traditional request processing phases.</p> +<p class="figure"> +<img src="images/filter_arch.png" width="569" height="392" alt="Filters can be chained, in a Data Axis orthogonal to request processing" /> +</p> +<p>Some examples of filtering in the standard Apache distribution are:</p> +<ul> +<li><code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_include.html">mod_include</a></code>, implements server-side includes.</li> +<li><code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_ssl.html">mod_ssl</a></code>, implements SSL encryption (https).</li> +<li><code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_deflate.html">mod_deflate</a></code>, implements compression/decompression on the fly.</li> +<li><code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_charset_lite.html">mod_charset_lite</a></code>, transcodes between different character sets.</li> +<li><code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_ext_filter.html">mod_ext_filter</a></code>, runs an external program as a filter.</li> +</ul> +<p>Apache also uses a number of filters internally to perform +functions like chunking and byte-range handling.</p> + +<p>A wider range of applications are implemented by third-party filter +modules available from <a href="http://modules.apache.org/">modules.apache.org</a> and +elsewhere.

This works by using a +filter harness, that dispatches to different providers according +to the actual contents at runtime. Any filter may be either +inserted directly in the chain and run unconditionally, or +used as a provider and inserted dynamically. For example,</p> +<ul> +<li>an HTML processing filter will only run if the content is +text/html or application/xhtml+xml</li> +<li>A compression filter will only run if the input is a +compressible type and not already compressed</li> +<li>A charset conversion filter will be inserted if a text +document is not already in the desired charset</li> +</ul> +</div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="./images/up.gif" /></a></div> +<div class="section"> +<h2><a name="using" id="using">Using Filters</a></h2> + +<p>There are two ways to use filtering: Simple and Dynamic. +In general, you should use one or the other; mixing them can +have unexpected consequences (although simple Input filtering +can be mixed freely with either simple or dynamic Output filtering).</p> +<p>The Simple Way is the only way to configure input filters, and is +sufficient for output filters where you need a static filter chain. +Relevant directives are + <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/core.html#setinputfilter">SetInputFilter</a></code>, + <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/core.html#setoutputfilter">SetOutputFilter</a></code>, + <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_mime.html#addinputfilter">AddInputFilter</a></code>, + <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_mime.html#addoutputfilter">AddOutputFilter</a></code>, + <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_mime.html#removeinputfilter">RemoveInputFilter</a></code>, and + <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_mime.html#removeoutputfilter">RemoveOutputFilter</a></code>.</p> + +<p>The Dynamic Way enables both static and flexible, dynamic configuration +of output filters, as discussed in the <code class="module"><a href="./mod/mod_filter.html">mod_filter</a></code> page. +Relevant directives are + <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_filter.html#filterchain">FilterChain</a></code>, + <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_filter.html#filterdeclare">FilterDeclare</a></code>, and + <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/mod_filter.html#filterprovider">FilterProvider</a></code>.</p> + +<p>One further directive <code class="directive"><a href="./mod/core.html#addoutputfilterbytype">AddOutputFilterByType</a></code> is still supported, +but may be problematic and is now deprecated.
