NAME

Apache2::HttpEquiv - Convert <meta http-equiv=...> to HTTP headers

VERSION

This document describes version 1.00 of Apache2::HttpEquiv, released January 4, 2014.

SYNOPSIS

In your Apache config:

<Location />
  PerlFixupHandler Apache2::HttpEquiv
</Location>

DESCRIPTION

Apache2::HttpEquiv provides a PerlFixupHandler for mod_perl 2 that turns <meta http-equiv="Header-Name" content="Header Value"> into an actual HTTP header. It also looks for <meta charset="..."> and uses it to set the Content-Type to text/html; charset=....

If the file claims its Content-Type is 'text/xhtml', the Content-Type is set to 'text/html' instead. 'text/xhtml' is not a valid Content-Type, and any file that claims it is probably too broken to parse as 'application/xhtml+xml'.

This works only for static HTML files (that Apache has identified as 'text/html'). If you're generating dynamic content, you should be generating the appropriate Content-Type and other headers at the same time.

CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT

Apache2::HttpEquiv requires no configuration files or environment variables.

INCOMPATIBILITIES

None reported.

BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

No bugs have been reported.
