for the wish list...

Something for the wishlist..

A config option to set HTTP headers for Apache to send in addition
to others such as Server, Date,...

e.g. I might want to send

Link: <mailto: www-admin@xxx.lanl.gov>; rel="Publisher"
X-Organization: Los Alamos e-Print Archives
X-Physical-Location: Los Alamos, New Mexico, USA
X-mirrored-at: http://babbage.sissa.it/  (Italy)
X-current-temperature: 86F
X-Andressen-worth: $58m

etc,  okay silly eample.

so that people who use HEAD to nose around other people's sites get
some useful information.

Roy doesn't have a problem with this idea, or at least not with the
"Link:" type of response.

What's wrong with .asis?

Oh, you mean headers with every response that are constants in the 
server?  I don't see a use for it yet, but....

One could of course abuse the #define for SERVER_VERSION in httpd.h.
