I see this is the third time you've asked variants on this question. But without actually explaining what you are trying to do, you're just wasting your time. But to answer directly, Apache httpd answers HTTP requests with HTTP responses. To do that, it almost always needs to parse the headers, even if it will wind up denying the request due to, for example, an IP address forbidden by mod_authz_host. You can look at the third-party module mod_security, which does have the ability to drop requests without any response. Or you can use a firewall to do this job. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
