[users@httpd] Removing request headers before a request is processed. . .

[David Dabbs <dm...@gmail.com>]

I'm using httpd in front of a Tomcat app server and would like to remove
some incoming cookies before requests are reverse-proxied to Tomcat. The
cookie names are not fixed, but do match several simple regexps. Is there a
recipe with mod_headers/mod_rewrite that would allow me to strip these
cookies before these requests are handled?

 

Thanks,

 

David

It's already in the examples of mod_headers:

SetEnvIf MyRequestHeader myvalue HAVE_MyRequestHeader
Header set MyHeader "%D %t mytext" env=HAVE_MyRequestHeader

so you just need to midify it to something like this:

SetEnvIf MyRequestCookieHeader your_regexp_here HAVE_MyRequestCookieHeader
RequestHeader unset MyRequestCookieHeader env=HAVE_MyRequestCookieHeader
