NAME
httpd.translations - URL translations to be applied to incoming HTTP requests
SYNOPSIS
/etc/httpd.translations
DESCRIPTION
The HTTP daemon supports four URL translation rules to filter incoming HTTP
requests. The HTTP daemon applies each rule in succession, stopping at the first
successful Redirect, Pass, or Fail rule:
Map
template
result
Any request which matches
template
is replaced with the
result
string given.
Redirect
template
result
Any request which matches
template
is redirected to the
result
URL. Note
that this must be a full URL, e.g., beginning with http:.
Pass
template
[
result
]
Any request which matches
template
is granted access, and no further rule
processing occurs. An optional
result
can be used in place of the matching
URL.
Fail
template
Any request which matches
template
is denied access. Rule processing
stops after a matched Fail.
Both templates and results may contain wildcards (a star * character). The
wildcard behaves like a shell wildcard in the
template
string, matching zero or
more characters,
including
the slash (/) character. In the
result
string, a wild-
card causes text from the corresponding match in the
template
string to be
inserted into the result.
EXAMPLE
This example redirects CGI queries to cgi-host, prevents accesses to /usr/
forbidden, and maps requests to images to a local image directory:
#
# Example URL translations
#
Redirect /cgi-bin/* http://cgi-host/*
Fail /usr/forbidden/*
Map /image-bin/* /usr/local/http/images/*
