Try the following line (no <FilesMatch> directive needed).
| Code: | | Header always set X-Robots-Tag "noindex" "expr=%{CONTENT_TYPE} =~ m#^application/rss+xml#" |

I tested this header set directive before posting, adding the following to the global section of the default httpd.conf file, and it worked.
| Code: | | Header always set X-Robots-Tag "noindex" "expr=%{CONTENT_TYPE} =~ m#^text/html#" |
Can you try this rather than using an .htaccess file, and if it works then revise the match string to your required content type? |

content type for feed atom are application/rss+xml right?
could it be it bacause i dont have any mime type for rss+xml in mime_module
| Code: | <IfModule mime_module>
TypesConfig conf/mime.types
AddType application/x-gzip .tgz
#AddEncoding x-compress .Z
#AddEncoding x-gzip .gz .tgz
AddType application/x-compress .Z
AddType application/x-gzip .gz .tgz
#AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
#For type maps (negotiated resources):
#AddHandler type-map var
#AddType text/html .shtml
#AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml
</IfModule> |
====edit===
this rule worked
| Code: | | Header always set X-Robots-Tag "noindex" "expr=%{CONTENT_TYPE} =~ m#^application/rss#" |

Good morning,
as you are working with regular expressions I guess you have to escape the + with a \ so it reads
| Code: | | Header always set X-Robots-Tag "noindex" "expr=%{CONTENT_TYPE} =~ m#^application/rss\+xml#" |
because the + is a special character in regular expressions (= the character to its left to it appears once or multiple times) |

Thanks, mraddi, my mistake.
I should have escaped the '+' symbol in the regex. |

With Apache 2.2 series, the mod_headers module does not support 'expr' qualifiers (which can pick up %{CONTENT_TYPE}); it only supports conditionals based on environment variables.
Further, in Apache 2.2 SetEnvIf only sets environment variables based on request characteristics, not the response, so it can't pick up on the response content type and use it to set a conditional variable.
The only option I can think of (other forum members may suggest another approach), would be to write a custom output filter if you're up for it, activated with the appropriate content type, which could then add the X-Robots-Tag header. e.g.
| Code: | <IfVersion < 2.4>
FilterDeclare X-Robots-Tag
FilterProvider X-Robots-Tag MyCustomFilter resp=Content-Type $application/rss
FilterChain X-Robots-Tag
</IfVersion> |
Alternatively, could you not update the older Apache instance, seeing as you already have a working 2.4 series configuration? |
