I wonder if "Manip" would be better replaced by "Alter".

If the reader is not a native English speaker, or at least if his
English is not as good as yours, then the abbreviation "Manip" might
suggest something to do with Manuals and/or or IPs.  If he uses a
dictionary it might still not be clear.  OTOH a word like "Alter" is
complete and unambiguous.


Thanks Ged.

The idea of Manip came from a well known DateManip. The point is that it really manipulates headers, and not necessarily alters them (e.g. you can change the order of headers, without changing them).

I think another good name would be: HTTPHeadersFixup (as in PerlFixupHandler)

Hello. Vote for Fixup postfix. This module would be really useful. Thanks.
