b4a00883f358625923365ca1560c96edec172a52sf <p><code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_rewrite.html">mod_rewrite</a></code> provides a way to modify incoming
b4a00883f358625923365ca1560c96edec172a52sf URL requests, dynamically, based on <a href="intro.html#regex">regular
b4a00883f358625923365ca1560c96edec172a52sf expression</a> rules. This allows you to map arbitrary URLs onto
b4a00883f358625923365ca1560c96edec172a52sf your internal URL structure in any way you like.</p>
b4a00883f358625923365ca1560c96edec172a52sf
b4a00883f358625923365ca1560c96edec172a52sf <p>It supports an unlimited number of rules and an
b4a00883f358625923365ca1560c96edec172a52sf unlimited number of attached rule conditions for each rule to
b4a00883f358625923365ca1560c96edec172a52sf provide a really flexible and powerful URL manipulation
b4a00883f358625923365ca1560c96edec172a52sf mechanism. The URL manipulations can depend on various tests:
b4a00883f358625923365ca1560c96edec172a52sf server variables, environment variables, HTTP
b4a00883f358625923365ca1560c96edec172a52sf headers, time stamps, external database lookups, and various other
b4a00883f358625923365ca1560c96edec172a52sf external programs or handlers, can be used to achieve granular URL
b4a00883f358625923365ca1560c96edec172a52sf matching.</p>
b4a00883f358625923365ca1560c96edec172a52sf
b4a00883f358625923365ca1560c96edec172a52sf <p>Rewrite rules can operate on the full URLs, including the path-info
b4a00883f358625923365ca1560c96edec172a52sf and query string portions, and may be used in per-server context
b4a00883f358625923365ca1560c96edec172a52sf (<code>httpd.conf</code>), per-virtualhost context (<code class="directive"><a href="/mod/core.html#virtualhost">&lt;VirtualHost&gt;</a></code> blocks), or
b4a00883f358625923365ca1560c96edec172a52sf per-directory context (<code>.htaccess</code> files and <code class="directive"><a href="/mod/core.html#directory">&lt;Directory&gt;</a></code> blocks). The
b4a00883f358625923365ca1560c96edec172a52sf rewritten result can lead to further rules, internal
b4a00883f358625923365ca1560c96edec172a52sf sub-processing, external request redirection, or proxy
b4a00883f358625923365ca1560c96edec172a52sf passthrough, depending on what <a href="flags.html">flags</a> you
b4a00883f358625923365ca1560c96edec172a52sf attach to the rules.</p>
b4a00883f358625923365ca1560c96edec172a52sf
b4a00883f358625923365ca1560c96edec172a52sf <p>Since mod_rewrite is so powerful, it can indeed be rather
b4a00883f358625923365ca1560c96edec172a52sf complex. This document supplements the <a href="/mod/mod_rewrite.html">reference documentation</a>, and
b4a00883f358625923365ca1560c96edec172a52sf attempts to allay some of that complexity, and provide highly
b4a00883f358625923365ca1560c96edec172a52sf annotated examples of common scenarios that you may handle with
b4a00883f358625923365ca1560c96edec172a52sf mod_rewrite. But we also attempt to show you when you should not
b4a00883f358625923365ca1560c96edec172a52sf use mod_rewrite, and use other standard Apache features instead,
b4a00883f358625923365ca1560c96edec172a52sf thus avoiding this unnecessary complexity.</p>
