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.

default, poly, circle,
rect, or point. The value is an
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

The ImapMenu directive determines the action taken if an imagemap file is called without valid coordinates.
nonenone, no menu is generated,
and the default action is performed.formattedformatted 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.semiformattedsemiformatted 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.unformattedThe 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/.
