Igor,
As I said earlier, right now, I'm focusing on trying to get the RequestHeader
edit working (I think that now that I have 2.4.3 and the If, the conditional
part shouldn't be too bad), so I have a vanilla, just-built 2.4.3, with the
following Location added:
Location /test
# Compare the host name to foo.whatever.com and add a header in that case...
If %{HTTP_HOST} == 'foo.whatever.com'
RequestHeader set YOU_ARE_GOING_2FOO.WHATEVER.COM

Hi,
Thanks for the suggestion. I guess that I'd really rather not set the cookie
then possibly have to unset it later. That seems a little too convoluted.
What I was trying to find out with this post is about how something like
SetEnvIfExpr:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/mod/mod_setenvif.html#setenvifexpr
might be used.
Apparently this SetEnvIfExpr is available in Apache 2.2.9+?
That page has some examples of using SetEnvIfExpr, e.g.:
SetEnvIfExpr tolower(req('X-Sendfile')) == 'd:\images\very_big.iso')
iso_delivered
plus, it links to this other page on expressions in Apache:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/expr.html
which has examples of expressions:
# Compare the host name to example.com and redirect to www.example.com if it
matches
If %{HTTP_HOST} == 'example.com'
Redirect permanent / http://www.example.com
/If
So I was thinking I could use something like that, but I'm not familiar with
these expressions, so I was hoping that someone here could tell me (or point
the way to) the expression that I'd need to do what I described in my original
post.
Also, BTW, I'm having problems with what was suggested in the message thread on
Stackoverflow.com in my original post. I tried the suggested RequestHeader, to
try to remove a cookie in an incoming request, but it's not working. Rather it
looks like it just replaces the entire Cookie: header altogether. FYI, for
this testing, I have my Apache proxying (ProxyPass/ProxyPassReverse) a Tomcat
instance.

Hi,
We are trying to have an Apache (acting as a proxy)
conditionally
strip/remove a cookie from the incoming request, before it
proxies
the
request.
The condition is that, on the incoming request:
- there is a specific HTTP header, MYHEADER, with a value of
MYHEADERVALUE, and
- the root of the request URL's hostname (e.g., if hostname
in the
request
URL is www.foo.com, then root is .foo.com) matches a
certain
string,
e.g., .whatever.com
If the conditions above are true, then we want to remove a
cookie
named
MYCOOKIE from the incoming request, before forwarding the
request
onto
the proxied host.
I think that if the conditions match, according to this:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1798431/how-to-remove-a-cookie-in-apache
something like:
RequestHeader add Cookie
MYCOOKIE='';expires='SOME_PAST_DATE';
Path=COOKIE_PATH
would remove the cookie, but I'm not sure how to construct the
expression/expr that says something like this:
If hostname_root==whatever.com MYHEADER=some_string
RequestHeader add Cookie
MYCOOKIE=';expires='SOME_PAST_DATE';
Path=COOKIE_PATH
/If
Also, I'm not sure what that SOME_PAST_DATE should be.
Can anyone here tell me?
Thanks,
Jim

Use SetEnvIf
Igor,
I think that I can use SetEnvIf to set environment variables for
each
of
the two conditions, but doesn't the RequestHeader directive only
take
only
a single condition, e.g., env=condition1?

True, so how about this ... You set the cookie if env =
condition1
and
then edit/unset/merge/ or do whatever if env != condition2
Hi,
Thanks for the suggestion. I guess that I'd really rather not set the
cookie then possibly have to unset it later. That seems a little too
convoluted.
What I was trying to find out with this post is about how something
like
SetEnvIfExpr:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/mod/mod_setenvif.html#setenvifexpr
That link has the word trunk in it which usually means current
development version. And if you check the bread crumbs in the top of
the
page you'll see
[image: -] http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/mod/
Apache http://www.apache.org/ HTTP Server
http://httpd.apache.org/
Documentation http://httpd.apache.org/docs/ Version
2.5http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/
Modules http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/mod/
it is a Apache 2.5 module. If you need to use this feature AND If tags
you need Apache 2.4
might be used.
Apparently this SetEnvIfExpr is available in Apache 2.2.9+?
That page has some examples of using SetEnvIfExpr, e.g.:
SetEnvIfExpr tolower(req('X-Sendfile')) == 'd:\images\very_big.iso')
iso_delivered
plus, it links to this other page on expressions in Apache:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/expr.html
which has examples of expressions:
# Compare the host name to example.com and redirect to
www.example.com if
it matches
If %{HTTP_HOST} == 'example.com'
Redirect permanent / http://www.example.com
/If
So I was thinking I could use something like that, but I'm not
familiar
with these expressions, so I was hoping that someone here could
tell me
(or point the way to) the expression that I'd need to do what I
described
in my original post.
Also, BTW, I'm having problems with what was suggested in the message
thread on Stackoverflow.com in my original post. I tried the
suggested
RequestHeader, to try to remove a cookie in an incoming request, but
it's
not working. Rather it looks like it just replaces the entire
Cookie:
header altogether. FYI, for this testing, I have my Apache proxying

Re: [users@httpd] Conditionally strip/remove a specific cookie from request
[I keep getting bounced msgs from the mail server, so am removing the earlier replies.] Igor (et al), I'm ok with 2.4.3 and the If for the conditional part. Also, with that, for editing the Cookie header, I figured out that I may be able to use RequestHeader edit to edit the Cookie header value (ideally, we want to be able to remove just ONE, SPECIFIC cookie in the Cookie header value/string. Something like: RequestHeader edit Cookie regex The problem I'm having now is that regex. Let me explain: The thing is, the cookie that we want to remove can occur in the middle of the Cookie header value, in which case, that cookie would end with a semi-colon (;). However, if the cookie that we want to remove happens to be the last cookie in the Cookie header value/string, that will end with nothing (no ; at end). Does anyone know what kind of regex I can use that would handle both cases (the cookie-of-interest ending with either a ; or nothing/end-of-string? I've tried something like: RequestHeader edit Cookie MyCookie=.*(;|\z) which I thought SHOULD work, but it doesn't. Anyone? Any regex experts out there? I know that I'm TERRIBLE with them :(...
