A filter is a process that is applied to data that is sent or received by the server. Data sent by clients to the server is processed by input filters while data sent by the server to the client is processed by output filters. Multiple filters can be applied to the data, and the order of the filters can be explicitly specified.
-Filters are used internally by Apache to perform functions
- such as chunking and byte-range request handling. In addition,
- modules can provide filters which are selectable using run-time
- configuration directives. The set of filters which apply to
- data can be manipulated with the SetInputFilter
- and SetOutputFilter
directives.
