I need to configure filter settings (In Apache2) based on RequestContent header. Is it possible?

Specifically changes based on the value of one header.

(I'm using mod_line_edit to filter html in reverse proxy)

EDIT: I'm doing reverse proxy and I want to filter out some tags (I can do that with mod_line_edit) I only want to apply this rules when there is specific RequestHeader present.

I don't believe this is possible, and if it were it would be a REALLY BAD IDEA -- Allowing you to change configuration settings on a server by magic in the client's request headers would be a pretty serious security hole.

Perhaps if you can tell us more about what you're trying to do someone can suggest a less painful way of accomplishing it?
