This module provides for server-side imagemap processing.
Status: Base
Source File: mod_imap.c
Module Identifier:
imap_module
Compatibility: Available in
Apache 1.1 and later.
This module processes .map
files, thereby
replacing the functionality of the imagemap
CGI
program. Any directory or document type configured to use the
handler imap-file
(using either AddHandler
or
SetHandler
)
will be processed by this module.
The following directive will activate files ending with
.map
as imagemap files:
AddHandler imap-file map
Note that the following is still supported:
AddType application/x-httpd-imap map
However, we are trying to phase out "magic MIME types" so we
are deprecating this method.

absolute or relative URL, or one of the special values listed
below. The coordinates are x,y
pairs separated by
whitespace. The quoted text is used as the text of the link if
a imagemap menu is generated. Lines beginning with '#' are
comments.

The non-absolute URLs of the map-file are taken relative to
this value. The base
directive overrides
ImapBase as set in a .htaccess file or in the server
configuration files. In the absence of an ImapBase
configuration directive, base
defaults to
http://server_name/

The ImapMenu directive determines the action taken if an imagemap file is called without valid coordinates.
none
none
, no menu is generated,
and the default
action is performed.formatted
formatted
menu is the simplest menu.
Comments in the imagemap file are ignored. A level one header
is printed, then an hrule, then the links each on a separate
line. The menu has a consistent, plain look close to that of
a directory listing.semiformatted
semiformatted
menu, comments are
printed where they occur in the imagemap file. Blank lines
are turned into HTML breaks. No header or hrule is printed,
but otherwise the menu is the same as a
formatted
menu.unformatted
The ImapDefault directive sets the default
default
used in the imagemap files. Its value is
overridden by a default
directive within the
imagemap file. If not present, the default
action
is nocontent
, which means that a 204 No
Content
is sent to the client. In this case, the client
should continue to display the original page.
The ImapBase directive sets the default base
used in the imagemap files. Its value is overridden by a
base
directive within the imagemap file. If not
present, the base
defaults to
http://servername/
.
