Summary

    This module allows request bodies to be reflected back to the
    client, in the process passing the request through the output filter
    stack. A suitably configured chain of filters can be used to transform
    the request into a response. This module can be used to turn an output
    filter into an HTTP service.

Examples
    
    Compression service
    Pass the request body through the DEFLATE filter to compress the
    body. This request requires a Content-Encoding request header containing
    "gzip" for the filter to return compressed data.
    <Location "/compress">
    SetHandler reflector
    SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
</Location>

    

    Image downsampling service
    Pass the request body through an image downsampling filter, and reflect
    the results to the caller.
    <Location "/downsample">
    SetHandler reflector
    SetOutputFilter DOWNSAMPLE
</Location>
