Description ===========

The setenv module allows influencing the environment external applications are spawned in and the response headers the server sends to the clients.

Automatic Decompression
-----------------------

If you have alot text-files compressed with gzip on disk and want that the browser is decompressing them
on retrival you can use setenv to inject the Content-Encoding header: ::

$HTTP["url"] =~ "(README|ChangeLog|\.txt)\.gz$" {
setenv.add-response-header = ( "Content-Encoding" => "gzip")
mimetype.assign = ("" => "text/plain" )
}

Options =======

setenv.add-environment
adds a value to the process environment that is passed to the external applications ::

setenv.add-environment = ( 
"TRAC_ENV" => "lighttpd",
"RAILS_ENV" => "production"
)

setenv.add-response-header
adds a header to the HTTP response sent to the client ::

setenv.add-response-header = (
"Content-Encoding" => "gzip"
)

setenv.add-request-header
adds a header to the HTTP request that was received from the client ::

setenv.add-request-header = (
"X-Proxy" => server.name
)
