Bug Description

Binary package hint: apache2

In my virtual host:

 RequestHeader edit Cache-Control early

root@mitulo:/# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
 * Forcing reload of web server (apache2)... Syntax error on line 12 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/001-mmbase:
first argument must be 'add', 'set', 'append', 'unset' or 'echo'.
                                                                                                                 [fail]
But according to:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_headers.html

'edit' _is_ supported.

So, perhaps an old version of mod_headers was shipped or so, because in 2.0 it indeed did not exist.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. I cannot reproduce your issue. RequestHeader edit takes two more arguments as outlined in the manual.

Could specify which version apache2 you are using.

This works for me on Trusty with Apache 2.4.7:

  Header edit Set-Cookie "^(JSESSIONID=.*; Path=^/itrax/irates/)(.*)$" "$1/$2"

# apt-cache policy apache2
