+</table>
+ <p>The <code class="directive">Substitute</code> directive specifies a
+ search and replace pattern to apply to the response body.</p>
+
+ <p>The meaning of the pattern can be modified by using any
+ combination of these flags:</p>
+
+ <dl>
+ <dt><code>i</code></dt>
+ <dd>Perform a case-insensitive match.</dd>
+ <dt><code>n</code></dt>
+ <dd>By default the pattern is treated as a regular expression.
+ Using the <code>n</code> flag forces the pattern to be treated
+ as a fixed string.</dd>
+ <dt><code>f</code></dt>
+ <dd>The <code>f</code> flag causes <code>mod_substitute</code> to flatten the
+ result of a substitution allowing for later substitutions to
+ take place on the boundary of this one. This is the default.</dd>
+ <dt><code>q</code></dt>
+ <dd>The <code>q</code> flag causes <code>mod_substitute</code> to not
+ flatten the buckets after each substitution. This can
+ result in much faster response and a decrease in memory
+ utilization, but should only be used if there is no possibility
+ that the result of one substitution will ever match a pattern
+ or regex of a subsequent one.</dd>
+ </dl>
+
+ <p>The <var>substitution</var> may contain literal text and regular
+ expression backreferences</p>
+
+ <div class="example"><h3>Example</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">&lt;Location "/"&gt;
+ AddOutputFilterByType SUBSTITUTE text/html
+ Substitute "s/foo/bar/ni"
+&lt;/Location&gt;</pre>
+</div>
+
+ <p>The character which is used to separate (or "delimit") the
+ various parts of the substitution string is referred to as the
+ "delimiter", and it is most common to use a slash for this
+ purpose.</p>
+
+ <p>If either the pattern or the substitution contain a slash
+ character then an alternative delimiter may be used to make the
+ directive more readable:</p>
+
+ <div class="example"><h3>Example of using an alternate delimiter</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">&lt;Location "/"&gt;
+ AddOutputFilterByType SUBSTITUTE text/html
+ Substitute "s|&lt;BR */?&gt;|&lt;br /&gt;|i"
+&lt;/Location&gt;</pre>
+</div>
+
+ <p>Backreferences can be used in the comparison and in the substitution,
+ when regular expressions are used, as illustrated in the following example: </p>
+ <div class="example"><h3>Example of using backreferences and captures</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">&lt;Location "/"&gt;
+ AddOutputFilterByType SUBSTITUTE text/html
+ # "foo=k,bar=k" -&gt; "foo/bar=k"
+ Substitute "s|foo=(\w+),bar=\1|foo/bar=$1|"
+&lt;/Location&gt;</pre>
+</div>
+
+ <p>A common use scenario for <code>mod_substitute</code> is the
+ situation in which a front-end server proxies requests to a back-end
+ server which returns HTML with hard-coded embedded URLs that refer
+ to the back-end server. These URLs don't work for the end-user,
+ since the back-end server is unreachable.</p>
+
+ <p>In this case, <code>mod_substitute</code> can be used to rewrite
+ those URLs into something that will work from the front end:</p>
+
+ <div class="example"><h3>Rewriting URLs embedded in proxied content</h3><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">ProxyPass "/blog/" "http://internal.blog.example.com/"
+ProxyPassReverse "/blog/" "http://internal.blog.example.com/"
+
+Substitute "s|http://internal.blog.example.com/|http://www.example.com/blog/|i"</pre>
+</div>
+
+ <p><code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypassreverse">ProxyPassReverse</a></code>
+ modifies any <code>Location</code> (redirect) headers that are sent
+ by the back-end server, and, in this example,
+ <code class="directive">Substitute</code> takes care of the rest of the problem by
+ fixing up the HTML response as well.</p>
+
