1c47b0c72c991a6f0ad172c74df0936fe13d6fbfslive<description>Provides a rule-based rewriting engine to rewrite requested
1c47b0c72c991a6f0ad172c74df0936fe13d6fbfsliveURLs on the fly</description>
1c47b0c72c991a6f0ad172c74df0936fe13d6fbfslive<compatibility>Available in Apache 1.3 and later</compatibility>
f6445f3ad1c82f9398dc8edd77093cd3e20b806cnoirin <p>The <module>mod_rewrite</module> module uses a rule-based rewriting
f6445f3ad1c82f9398dc8edd77093cd3e20b806cnoirin engine, based on a regular-expression parser, to rewrite requested URLs on
f6445f3ad1c82f9398dc8edd77093cd3e20b806cnoirin the fly. By default, <module>mod_rewrite</module> maps a URL to a filesystem
f6445f3ad1c82f9398dc8edd77093cd3e20b806cnoirin path. However, it can also be used to redirect one URL to another URL, or
f6445f3ad1c82f9398dc8edd77093cd3e20b806cnoirin to invoke an internal proxy fetch.</p>
f6445f3ad1c82f9398dc8edd77093cd3e20b806cnoirin <p><module>mod_rewrite</module> provides a flexible and powerful way to
f6445f3ad1c82f9398dc8edd77093cd3e20b806cnoirin manipulate URLs using an unlimited number of rules. Each rule can have an
f6445f3ad1c82f9398dc8edd77093cd3e20b806cnoirin unlimited number of attached rule conditions, to allow you to rewrite URL
f6445f3ad1c82f9398dc8edd77093cd3e20b806cnoirin based on server variables, environment variables, HTTP headers, or time
f6445f3ad1c82f9398dc8edd77093cd3e20b806cnoirin stamps.</p>
f6445f3ad1c82f9398dc8edd77093cd3e20b806cnoirin <p><module>mod_rewrite</module> operates on the full URL path, including the
f6445f3ad1c82f9398dc8edd77093cd3e20b806cnoirin path-info section. A rewrite rule can be invoked in
f6445f3ad1c82f9398dc8edd77093cd3e20b806cnoirin <code>httpd.conf</code> or in <code>.htaccess</code>. The path generated
f6445f3ad1c82f9398dc8edd77093cd3e20b806cnoirin by a rewrite rule can include a query string, or can lead to internal
f6445f3ad1c82f9398dc8edd77093cd3e20b806cnoirin sub-processing, external request redirection, or internal proxy
f6445f3ad1c82f9398dc8edd77093cd3e20b806cnoirin throughput.</p>

9ed9ba1fcf0a4a39f78f5f809c661bbd590b70eand <dd>This forces the current configuration to inherit the
b1136023d7083e8ada7ee2a7f8563383568d0e9cnoirin configuration of the parent. In per-virtual-server context,
9ed9ba1fcf0a4a39f78f5f809c661bbd590b70eand this means that the maps, conditions and rules of the main
9ed9ba1fcf0a4a39f78f5f809c661bbd590b70eand server are inherited. In per-directory context this means
9ed9ba1fcf0a4a39f78f5f809c661bbd590b70eand that conditions and rules of the parent directory's

a4d04b8c74044c58bd4182028a1408d936c95951covener to the section where this directive is being used. If used in
a4d04b8c74044c58bd4182028a1408d936c95951covener combination with local rules, the inherited rules are copied behind
a4d04b8c74044c58bd4182028a1408d936c95951covener the local rules. The position of this directive - below or above
a4d04b8c74044c58bd4182028a1408d936c95951covener of local rules - has no influence on this behavior. If local
a4d04b8c74044c58bd4182028a1408d936c95951covener rules forced the rewriting to stop, the inherited rules won't

1fdfe3acc7d9000fcc4c5bfab678f361873f674bnoirin In a per-server context, before the
1fdfe3acc7d9000fcc4c5bfab678f361873f674bnoirin request is mapped to the filesystem, these variables contain the value
1fdfe3acc7d9000fcc4c5bfab678f361873f674bnoirin of <code>REQUEST_URI</code>, because the full filesystem path is not

1fdfe3acc7d9000fcc4c5bfab678f361873f674bnoirin path of a request in a per-server context, use a URL-based
a4d04b8c74044c58bd4182028a1408d936c95951covener look-ahead <code>%{LA-U:REQUEST_FILENAME}</code> to determine
1fdfe3acc7d9000fcc4c5bfab678f361873f674bnoirin the final value of <code>REQUEST_FILENAME</code>.</p>
1fdfe3acc7d9000fcc4c5bfab678f361873f674bnoirin <p>Other available variables include the following:</p>
1fdfe3acc7d9000fcc4c5bfab678f361873f674bnoirin <code>%{ENV:<em>variable</em>}</code>, where <em>variable</em> can be
1fdfe3acc7d9000fcc4c5bfab678f361873f674bnoirin any environment variable.</li>
1fdfe3acc7d9000fcc4c5bfab678f361873f674bnoirin <code>%{SSL:<em>variable</em>}</code>, where <em>variable</em> is the

1fdfe3acc7d9000fcc4c5bfab678f361873f674bnoirin will always expand to the empty string.</li>
1fdfe3acc7d9000fcc4c5bfab678f361873f674bnoirin <code>%{HTTP:<em>header</em>}</code>, where <em>header</em> can be
1fdfe3acc7d9000fcc4c5bfab678f361873f674bnoirin any HTTP MIME-header name. For example,
1fdfe3acc7d9000fcc4c5bfab678f361873f674bnoirin <code>%{HTTP:Proxy-Connection}</code> is the value of the HTTP header
1fdfe3acc7d9000fcc4c5bfab678f361873f674bnoirin ``<code>Proxy-Connection:</code>''. If a HTTP header is used in a
1fdfe3acc7d9000fcc4c5bfab678f361873f674bnoirin condition, and the condition evaluates to <code>true</code>, then that
1fdfe3acc7d9000fcc4c5bfab678f361873f674bnoirin header is added to the Vary header of the response. This is used to
1fdfe3acc7d9000fcc4c5bfab678f361873f674bnoirin ensure proper caching.
1fdfe3acc7d9000fcc4c5bfab678f361873f674bnoirin If a previous condition has evaluated to <code>true</code> and the
1fdfe3acc7d9000fcc4c5bfab678f361873f674bnoirin '<strong><code>ornext|OR</code></strong>' flag is in use, later
1fdfe3acc7d9000fcc4c5bfab678f361873f674bnoirin conditions are not evaluated, and therefore headers are not added to the
1fdfe3acc7d9000fcc4c5bfab678f361873f674bnoirin Vary header.</li>
1fdfe3acc7d9000fcc4c5bfab678f361873f674bnoirin <code>%{LA-U:<em>variable</em>}</code>, which is used to perform
1fdfe3acc7d9000fcc4c5bfab678f361873f674bnoirin an internal URL-based sub-request, to determine the final
1fdfe3acc7d9000fcc4c5bfab678f361873f674bnoirin value of <em>variable</em>. This can be used to access the value of
1fdfe3acc7d9000fcc4c5bfab678f361873f674bnoirin a variable which is to be set in a later phase. For example, the
1fdfe3acc7d9000fcc4c5bfab678f361873f674bnoirin <code>REMOTE_USER</code> variable is set in the authorization phase of
1fdfe3acc7d9000fcc4c5bfab678f361873f674bnoirin processing. This comes after the URL translation phase, where rewrite
1fdfe3acc7d9000fcc4c5bfab678f361873f674bnoirin rules in <code>httpd.conf</code> are applied, but before the fixup
1fdfe3acc7d9000fcc4c5bfab678f361873f674bnoirin phase, where rewrite rules in a <code>.htaccess</code> file are applied.
1fdfe3acc7d9000fcc4c5bfab678f361873f674bnoirin Therefore, to obtain the value of the <code>REMOTE_USER</code> variable
1fdfe3acc7d9000fcc4c5bfab678f361873f674bnoirin >%{LA-U:REMOTE_USER}</code>. To obtain the value of the
1fdfe3acc7d9000fcc4c5bfab678f361873f674bnoirin <code>REMOTE_USER</code> variable within a <code>.htaccess</code> file,
b1136023d7083e8ada7ee2a7f8563383568d0e9cnoirin a regular expression which is applied to the

5f18f92c1354462df6dc2ba38277a953fa700b13gryzor rewriting workhorse. The directive can occur more than once,
b1136023d7083e8ada7ee2a7f8563383568d0e9cnoirin with each instance defining a single rewrite rule. The

e619b7228ac42d9c70d6a5f02d808b0d2880080ccovener <em>Pattern</em> is matched against what remains of the URL after removing
e619b7228ac42d9c70d6a5f02d808b0d2880080ccovener the prefix that lead Apache to the current rules (see the
e619b7228ac42d9c70d6a5f02d808b0d2880080ccovener <directive module="mod_rewrite">RewriteBase</directive>). The removed prefix
e619b7228ac42d9c70d6a5f02d808b0d2880080ccovener always ends with a slash, meaning the matching occurs against a string which
e619b7228ac42d9c70d6a5f02d808b0d2880080ccovener never has a leading slash. A <em>Pattern</em> with <code>^/</code> never
e619b7228ac42d9c70d6a5f02d808b0d2880080ccovener matches in per-directory context.</p>
e619b7228ac42d9c70d6a5f02d808b0d2880080ccovener <p>If you wish to match against the hostname, port, or query string, use a

206b5dce9e48924aa9f12ce87f14856a4cd3fb68takashi <p>In mod_rewrite, the NOT character
5f18f92c1354462df6dc2ba38277a953fa700b13gryzor ('<code>!</code>') is also available as a possible pattern
b1136023d7083e8ada7ee2a7f8563383568d0e9cnoirin prefix. This enables you to negate a pattern; to say, for instance:
1c47b0c72c991a6f0ad172c74df0936fe13d6fbfslive ``<em>if the current URL does <strong>NOT</strong> match this
1c47b0c72c991a6f0ad172c74df0936fe13d6fbfslive pattern</em>''. This can be used for exceptional cases, where
1c47b0c72c991a6f0ad172c74df0936fe13d6fbfslive it is easier to match the negative pattern, or as a last
1c47b0c72c991a6f0ad172c74df0936fe13d6fbfslive default rule.</p>
5f18f92c1354462df6dc2ba38277a953fa700b13gryzorWhen using the NOT character to negate a pattern, you cannot include
5f18f92c1354462df6dc2ba38277a953fa700b13gryzorgrouped wildcard parts in that pattern. This is because, when the
5f18f92c1354462df6dc2ba38277a953fa700b13gryzorpattern does NOT match (ie, the negation matches), there are no
b1136023d7083e8ada7ee2a7f8563383568d0e9cnoirincontents for the groups. Thus, if negated patterns are used, you
b1136023d7083e8ada7ee2a7f8563383568d0e9cnoirincannot use <code>$N</code> in the substitution string!

e9d3697fa9387adc0cc9a61b0c3ca75edfb83abcslive<p>When using the rewrite engine in <code>.htaccess</code> files the
1c47b0c72c991a6f0ad172c74df0936fe13d6fbfsliveper-directory prefix (which always is the same for a specific
b1136023d7083e8ada7ee2a7f8563383568d0e9cnoirindirectory) is automatically <em>removed</em> for the pattern matching
1c47b0c72c991a6f0ad172c74df0936fe13d6fbfsliveand automatically <em>added</em> after the substitution has been
e9d3697fa9387adc0cc9a61b0c3ca75edfb83abcslivedone. This feature is essential for many sorts of rewriting; without
e9d3697fa9387adc0cc9a61b0c3ca75edfb83abcslivethis, you would always have to match the parent directory, which is
e9d3697fa9387adc0cc9a61b0c3ca75edfb83abcslivenot always possible. There is one exception: If a substitution string
e9d3697fa9387adc0cc9a61b0c3ca75edfb83abcslivestarts with <code>http://</code>, then the directory prefix will
e9d3697fa9387adc0cc9a61b0c3ca75edfb83abcslive<strong>not</strong> be added, and an external redirect (or proxy
e9d3697fa9387adc0cc9a61b0c3ca75edfb83abcslivethroughput, if using flag <strong>P</strong>) is forced. See the
e9d3697fa9387adc0cc9a61b0c3ca75edfb83abcslive<directive module="mod_rewrite">RewriteBase</directive> directive for

e9d3697fa9387adc0cc9a61b0c3ca75edfb83abcslive<p>The rewrite engine may also be used in <directive type="section"
e9d3697fa9387adc0cc9a61b0c3ca75edfb83abcslivemodule="core">Directory</directive> sections with the same
e9d3697fa9387adc0cc9a61b0c3ca75edfb83abcsliveprefix-matching rules as would be applied to <code>.htaccess</code>
e9d3697fa9387adc0cc9a61b0c3ca75edfb83abcslivefiles. It is usually simpler, however, to avoid the prefix substitution
e9d3697fa9387adc0cc9a61b0c3ca75edfb83abcslivecomplication by putting the rewrite rules in the main server or
e9d3697fa9387adc0cc9a61b0c3ca75edfb83abcslivevirtual host context, rather than in a <directive type="section"
e9d3697fa9387adc0cc9a61b0c3ca75edfb83abcslive<p>Although rewrite rules are syntactically permitted in <directive
