Outputfilter

Configuration

To use that extension, load OCamlfind package ocsigenserver.ext.outputfilter, either from your Dune file (if you are using static linking), or from the configuration file:

<extension findlib-package="ocsigenserver.ext.outputfilter"/>

This page describes the configuration file options. If you are building a statically linked executable without configuration file, use the corresponding functions from module Outputfilter.

Rewrite headers

When you want to rewrite one header (after having generated a page), do something like:

<outputfilter header="location" regexp="http://my.newaddress.org/(.*)" dest="http://my.publicaddress.org/\1"/>

Here we rewrite the content of the header location (this line is useful when you are using the reverse proxy).

Add headers

When you want to add a header (after having generated a page), do something like:

<outputfilter header="X-Frame-Options" dest="SAMEORIGIN" replace="true"/>

This will add the header "X-Frame-Options" with content "SAMEORIGIN" to the generated page. The replace attribute is optionnal.

• If replace is "true", the previous headers are replaced.
• If replace is "false", it will be added even if there was a header with the same name.
• If not set, it will be added only if there was no header with the same name. (This line is usefull when you want to avoid clickjacking)

Change HTTP code

The syntax to change the HTTP code is:

<sethttpcode code=... />

where the value of the code attribute is a valid HTTP code (404 or 200 for example).
