   <H2>Summary</H2>
   
  -<P>Any document with mime type <CODE>httpd/send-as-is</CODE> will be
  -processed by this module.  Apache will send the document without
  -adding most of the usual HTTP headers.
  +<p>This module provides the handler <code>send-as-is</code> wich
  +causes Apache to send the document without adding most of the usual
  +HTTP headers.</p>
   
   <P>This can be used to send any kind of data from the server,
   including redirects and other special HTTP responses, without
   requiring a cgi-script or an nph script.
   
  +<p>For historical reasons, this module will also process any file with
  +the mime type <code>httpd/send-as-is</code>.
  +
   <H2>Directives</H2>
   
   <P>This module provides no directives.
   
   <H2>Usage</H2>
   
  -<P>In the server configuration file, define a new mime type called
  -<CODE>httpd/send-as-is</CODE> <EM>e.g.</EM>
  -<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>AddType httpd/send-as-is asis</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
  -this defines the <CODE>.asis</CODE> file extension as being of the new
  -<CODE>httpd/send-as-is</CODE> mime type. The contents of any file with a
  -<CODE>.asis</CODE> extension will then be sent by Apache to the client with
  -almost no changes. Clients will need HTTP headers to be attached, so do not
  -forget them. A Status: header is also required; the data should be the
  -3-digit HTTP response code, followed by a textual message.
  +<P>In the server configuration file, associate files with the
  +<code>send-as-is</code> handler <EM>e.g.</EM>
  +<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>AddHandler send-as-is asis</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>

   <P>Here's an example of a file whose contents are sent <EM>as is</EM>
   so as to tell the client that a file has redirected.
