ProxyVia

Synopsis

ProxyVia on|off|full|block
Default: ProxyVia off
Server config, virtual host

This directive controls the use of the Via: HTTP header by the proxy. Its intended use is to control the flow of proxy requests along a chain of proxy servers. See RFC2068 (HTTP 1.1) for an explanation of Via: header lines.

  • If set to off, which is the default, no special processing is performed. If a request or reply contains a Via: header, it is passed through unchanged.

  • If set to on, each request and reply will get a Via: header line added for the current host.

  • If set to full, each generated Via: header line will additionally have the Apache server version shown as a Via: comment field.

  • If set to block, every proxy request will have all its Via: header lines removed. No new Via: header will be generated.
