[APACHE DOCUMENTATION]

Special Purpose Environment Variables

Interoperability problems have led to the introduction of mechanisms to modify the way Apache behaves when talking to particular clients. To make these mechanisms as flexible as possible, they are invoked by defining environment variables, typically with BrowserMatch, though SetEnv and PassEnv could also be used, for example.

nokeepalive

This disables KeepAlive when set. Because of problems with Netscape 2.x and KeepAlive, we recommend the following directive be used:
BrowserMatch Mozilla/2 nokeepalive

force-response-1.0

This forces an HTTP/1.0 response when set. It was originally implemented as a result of a problem with AOL's proxies. Some clients may not behave correctly when given an HTTP/1.1 response, and this can be used to interoperate with them.
