<section id="basic_remap"><title>Example 1: A basic remapping module</title>
<p>
-
+ These first examples show how mod_lua can be used to rewrite URIs in the same
+ way that one could do using <directive module="mod_alias">Alias</directive> or
+ <directive module="mod_rewrite">RewriteRule</directive>, but with more clarity
+ on how the decision-making takes place, as well as allowing for more complex
+ decisions than would otherwise be allowed with said directives.
</p>
<highlight language="config">
function remap(r)
-- Test if the URI matches our criteria
- local barFile = r.uri:match("/foo/([a-zA-Z0-9]+%.bar)")
+ local barFile = r.uri:match("/foo/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)%.bar")
if barFile then
r.filename = "/internal/" .. barFile
end
Advanced remap example.
This example will evaluate some conditions, and based on that,
remap a file to one of two destinations, using a rewrite map.
-
+ This is similar to mixing AliasMatch and ProxyPass, but
+ without them clashing in any way. Assuming we are on example.com, then:
+
+ http://example.com/photos/test.png will be rewritten as /uploads/www/test.png
+ http://example.com/ext/foo.html will be proxied to http://www.external.com/foo.html
+ URIs that do not match, will be served by their respective default handlers
]]--
local map = {
},
externals = {
source = [[^/ext/(.*)$]],
- destination = [[http://www.example.com/$1]],
+ destination = [[http://www.external.com/$1]],
proxy = true
}
}
<section id="mass_vhost"><title>Example 2: Mass virtual hosting</title>
<p>
-
+ As with simple and advanced rewriting, you can use mod_lua for dynamically
+ assigning a hostname to a specific document root, much like
+ <module>mod_vhost_alias</module> does, but with more control over what goes
+ where. This could be as simple as a table holding the information about which
+ host goes into which folder, or more advanced, using a database holding the
+ document roots of each hostname.

-- Function for querying the database for saved vhost entries

+function query_vhosts(r)
+ local host = r.hostname
if not cached_vhosts[host] or (cached_vhosts[host] and cached_vhosts[host].updated < os.time() - timeout) then

+ cached_vhosts[host] = { updated = os.time(), destination = nil } -- don't re-query whenever there's no result, wait a while.
end

end

-- Check whether the hostname is in our database
