Hi - I am confused as to the role that my Apache Server has when it comes to
http headers. I am running Apache HTTPD in front of glassfish and have
written some hacky code to display all the header attributes from a request
arriving at the web server. This is what i get:

----------------------

accept : */*

accept-language : en-us

UA-CPU : x86

accept-encoding : gzip, deflate

user-agent : Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR
1.1.4322) host :
*www.XXXXXXXXXXX.com* <http://www.xxxxxxxxxxx.com/> connection : Keep-Alive
content-length : 0
---------------------

I thought that there was also a lot more information passed in the header
files such as screen size, number of colours, etc. Indeed there are websites
out there which can tell you all this info about your specific browser. Even
the available screen size so that when you resize the browser window and
re-load the web-page (ie. resend the http request) the new available screen
size is calculated.

My question is this: do I need to configure the Apache Server to use/process
all the header file?

Really appreciate some help on this one...

Hugh
