URL_LFS_REWRITE(8) User Contributed Perl Documentation URL_LFS_REWRITE(8) NAME url_lfs_rewrite - a URL-rewriter based on local file existence SYNOPSIS url_lfs_rewrite [--debug] --local-dir=/var/www/ [options] DESCRIPTION Direct all request to files who are in a local directory to a local web server hosting this directory. This program uses Squid concurrency support. OPTIONS --debug Write debug info to stderr. --local-dir Directory path under which the scripts searches for files. --to-scheme Scheme to use for the redirected URL. Default: http --to-host Domain name to use for the redirected URL. Default: localhost --to-path URL path to add as prefix for the redirected URL path. If set it must end with a '/'. Default: use the original URL path. KNOWN ISSUES * The --local-dir parameter must end with a '/'. Otherwise no file paths will be found. * URL with no filename in the path can match directories on the local filesystem and be wrongly redirected to the local web server. * Any scheme name accepted by the Perl URL library can be used as the --to-scheme parameter. However only schemes supported by Squid will work. * URL containing query-string are not handled well and will not be rewritten even if the base script or file exists on the local system. CONFIGURATION url_rewrite_program /path/to/url_lfs_rewrite --local-dir=\var\www\localhost url_rewrite_children 20 startup=1 idle=1 concurrency=25 url_rewrite_access deny CONNECT url_rewrite_access deny to_localhost This helper can redirect to any web server but only does so if there is a file matching the URL path segment in the local filesystem. Normal configu- ration requires a web server running on localhost serving up files from a local disk (eg. \var\www\localhost). Configuration of that web server is not covered here.
