Apache HSTS exception for some virtual hosts
In the global config section for Apache 2.2.15, I have the following (per recommendation)
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
Header add Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=15768000;includeSubDomains" env=HTTPS
</IfModule>
I would like to add this header only when the request is NOT for a specific host (dev.host.com). Which directive do I use to make header add occur only when not for a specific host?
PS: The second part of this question has been moved.
If you only include the IfModule directive in a VirtualHost Directive for x.x.x.x:443, then it will only apply to that VirtualHost, and there only apply to the https protocol.
-
You could try the directive
<If "%{HTTP_HOST} = 'www.dev.domain.com'"> <IfModule mod_headers.c> Header unset Strict-Transport-Security Header always set Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=0;includeSubDomains" </IfModule> </If>
In Apache 2.2 you can probably play with something like bellow.
-
Set an env to identify general case and exclude specific case:
SetEnvIf HTTPS do_work_on_headers SetEnvIf Host "^www.myexcludedhostname.tld$" !do_work_on_headers
-
then conditionnally set headers:
<IfModule mod_headers.c> Header add Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=15768000;includeSubDomains" env=do_work_on_headers </IfModule>
