svn commit: r826005 - in /httpd/httpd/trunk/docs/manual/mod: mod_headers.html.en mod_headers.xml

Author: covener
Date: Fri Oct 16 17:03:55 2009
New Revision: 826005

URL: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=826005&view=rev
Log:
mention that "Header onsuccess" is the default and reword the description
of "Header always" to talk less about implementation details and more about
the FAQ of redirects or 401's.
