apache2 - add custom response header

[dam034]

Dear users,

I want to add a custom response header if the file requested has a particular extension.

I think the directives will be written in httpd.conf.

Example:
all files .txt will have encoding utf-8, so I want to instruct the client browser the encoding.

Is it possible? And how?

Thanks

In the definition for the virtual host use a Files directive with AddDefaultCharset

<VirtualHost *:80>
[stuff]

<Files "*.txt">
AddDefaultCharset utf-8
</Files>

[more stuff]
</VirtualHost>

https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/core.html#files

https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mo...defaultcharset

You can force the entire server to use utf-8 by editing /etc/apache2/conf-available/charset.conf.

I found in /etc/apache2/conf-available/charset.conf this line:

#AddDefaultCharset utf-8

I have just uncommented it and restarted apache2 service and now it works.

But now, if I want to add a particular http response header, like this:

X-Dachi: dam034

How can I do it?

Thanks

And if I want to overwrite some apache default response headers?

Like Server response header?

Thanks

That's what documentation is for. Apache's is pretty extensive.
