<p>Modules can determine the file name, or alter the given URI
in this step. For example, <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_vhost_alias.html">mod_vhost_alias</a></code> will
translate the URI's path into the configured virtual host,
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_alias.html">mod_alias</a></code> will translate the path to an alias path,
and if the request falls back on the core, the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#documentroot">DocumentRoot</a></code> is prepended to the request resource.</p>
<p>If all modules <code>DECLINE</code> this phase, an error 500 is
returned to the browser, and a "couldn't translate name" error is logged
If the URI is nothing more than a local (non-proxy) <code>TRACE</code>
request, the core handles the request and returns <code>DONE</code>.
If no module answers this hook with <code>OK</code> or <code>DONE</code>,
the core will run the request filename against the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#directory"><Directory></a></code> and <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#files"><Files></a></code> sections. If the request
'filename' isn't an absolute, legal filename, a note is set for
<p>The module finally has a chance to serve the request in its
handler hook. Note that not every prepared request is sent to
the handler hook. Many modules, such as <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_autoindex.html">mod_autoindex</a></code>,
will create subrequests for a given URI, and then never serve the
subrequest, but simply lists it for the user. Remember not to
put required teardown from the hooks above into this module,
but register pool cleanups against the request pool to free
resources as required.</p>
