this is what it tells on this page
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_asis.html
The contents of any file with a .asis extension will then be sent by Apache
to the client with almost no changes. In particular, HTTP headers are
derived from the file itself according to
mod_cgi<http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_cgi.html>rules, so an
asis file must include valid headers, and may also use the CGI
Status: header to determine the HTTP response code.
it says ALMOST no changes
i was looking for absolutely no changes at all
First, IBM is the group you wish to talk to regarding whether or not it
supports, alters, etc., any data.
As for the "absolutely no changes", there should be absolutely no
changes if you DON'T put any added modules in line (e.g. output filters,
etc) into the mix. If you start playing with filters, the data can
change, and it's the modules that really have control over what
changes. Due to the modular form of apache, apache cannot guarantee
anything. If you REALLY want absolute control, write your own web server.
Again, if you desire to know what the IBM-compiled web server is capable
of, please contact them. On this list, you may only get "unofficial"
and "word-of-mouth" answers, which may or may not be accurate. It
shouldn't take a rocket scientist to understand the concept that one
should go to the producer to understand the product. Since IBM compiled
it, they may have patches in there that effect the things you ask about.
