--- Comment #2 from g1smd <[email protected]> 2010-05-15 19:19:29 EDT --- Minor changes for clarification. Most users just don't 'get it' when they read the current docs. The mod_rewrite module uses a rule-based rewriting engine, based on a regular-expression parser, to rewrite requested URLs on the fly. By default, mod_rewrite maps a URL to an internal filesystem path. However, it can also be used to externally redirect one URL to another URL, or to invoke an HTTP proxy fetch from the same or another domain. mod_rewrite provides a flexible and powerful way to manipulate URL requests using an unlimited number of rules. Each rule can have an unlimited number of attached rule conditions, to allow you to rewrite the incoming URL request based on server variables, environment variables, HTTP headers, or time stamps. mod_rewrite operates on the full requested URL path, including the path-info section. A rewrite rule can be invoked in httpd.conf or in .htaccess. The new path generated by a rewrite rule can include an appended query string, and can lead to internal sub-processing as a rewrite (when only the target filepath and/or filename is specified), external request redirection (when a target domain name and/or the [R] flag is specified), or proxy throughput (when using the [P] or [PT] flags). -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
