ErrorHeader directive...

[Brad Nicholes <BN...@novell.com>]

   If an ErrorHeader is defined, shouldn't it only be included on
non-200 http responses (ie. only on 3xx,4xx,5xx responses as the
documentation states)?  With the following configuration I am seeing the
ErrorHeader as well as the Header on 200 responses and only the
ErrorHeader on non-200 responses.  I would expect to see one or the
other, not both.

LoadModule headers_module modules/mod_headers.so

Header add MyHeader "%D %t"
ErrorHeader add ErrorHeader "%D %t"

No. The documentation states:

| This directive can replace, merge or remove HTTP response headers *also*
| during 3xx, 4xx and 5xx replies.

It's a kind of a misnomer anyway (named after r->err_headers_out).
