Rewrite Manager

**Note**: This application is free for testing but redirects will work only under a valid Enonic license. Rewrite Manager supports two types of providers to manage rewrite rules: * **File** - configuration file per a virtual host. With this type of provider redirect rules are defined inside the config file. * **Repository** - using this type of provider you can manage redirect rules directly from the application UI. Configuration for each virtual host is stored in the repository called "`com.enonic.app.rewrite`". If you are using both types of providers for the same virtual host, then File provider will take precedence. ## Configuration To configure this application, place a file called "`com.enonic.app.rewrite.cfg`" inside the configuration directory of your XP instance with the following options: `enabled` - this option is used to enable or disable handling the request redirects by application. `includePattern` - a RegExp pattern for request URI that should be processed by the application. `excludePattern` - a RegExp pattern for request URI that should not be processed by the application. `ruleFileNameTemplate` - template of the virtual host configuration filename with rewrite rules. Default template is `com.enonic.app.rewrite.{{vhost}}.conf`, where `{{vhost}}` is a name of a virtual host mapping specified in `com.enonic.xp.web.vhost.cfg`, for instance, `adm`. By default this application is shipped with the following configuration: ``` enabled=false excludePattern=^/admin/.*|.*/_/asset/.*|.*/_/image/.* includePattern=^/site/.* ruleFileNameTemplate=com.enonic.app.rewrite.{{vhost}}.conf ``` ## Usage Currently the application supports Apache syntax (simplified): ``` com.enonic.app.rewrite.myvhost.conf RewriteRule "/oldURL$" "/newURL" [R=301] RewriteRule "/allUnderThis/(.*)" "/movedToHere/$1" [R=301] RewriteRule "/kontakt" "/contact" [R=301] RewriteRule "/avis" "https://rett24.no" [R=302] ``` If you want to specify a rewrite rule which contains URI-illegal characters, then you have to percent-encode source and target: ``` RewriteRule "/reparasjon%20og%20vedlikehold%20av%20kj%C3%B8ret%C3%B8y.pdf" "/kj%C3%B8ret%C3%B8y" [R=301] ``` Currently the application uses the following flags implicitly for each rule: ``` NE - noescape L - last NC - nocase ``` **Note**: Changes to configuration files with rewrite rules won't take effect until the Rewrite app is restarted.
