In addition, - the decision on whether or not to log requests can be made - based on the status of environment variables using the - conditional form of the <code>CustomLog</code> directive. In - combination with <code>SetEnvIf</code> this allows for flexible - control of which requests are logged. For example, you can - choose not to log requests for filenames ending in - <code>gif</code>, or you can choose to only log requests from - clients which are outside your subnet.</p> - - <h3>Conditional Response Headers</h3> - - <p>The <code>Header</code> directive can use the presence or - absence of an environment variable to determine whether or not - a certain HTTP header will be placed in the response to the - client.

This is + advantageous both because it is a more elegant solution, and + because it also allows for both a type <strong>and</strong> a + handler to be associated with a file.
