*                      Apache HTTP Server does not work on     *
*                      IBM HTTP Server                         *
****************************************************************

****************************************************************
The second parameter of the Header and RequestHeader
directives select the desired action/verb.  Apache HTTP Server
defines "edit*" as a recursive version of "edit". But IHS
fails startup if you specify "edit*".

Problem conclusion

mod_headers was updated to recognize "edit*"

This fix is targeted for IBM HTTP Server fix packs:
- 7.0.0.35
- 8.0.0.10
- 8.5.5.4

Temporary fix
