Apache URL rewrite

Hi,
To make iPlanet work with apache, documentation ask me to change
httpd.conf so that all request comes into apache will forward to
iPlanet.
But I need to use URL rewrite module of apache contains the rewrite rule
RewriteRule ^/lmp
/NASApp/delivery/servlet/delivery;jsessionid=%{QUERY_STRING} [PT,NS]
which means if URL contains /lmp then rewrite to iPlanet handler
/NASApp/...etc
any one had successfully configure apache mod_rewrite works with
iPlanet?
In my pervious experience with Tomcat apache. I realize I have to load
the web-server-plugin module before module rewrite module. But if I do
that with iAS. then i get 404 not found on request to servlet.
thanks

We use iPlanet and apache with mode_rewrite
Try this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteLog /usr/local/apache/logs/rewrite.log
RewriteLogLevel 1
# Rewrite Rules for App1
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^app1.company.de$
RewriteRule ^/ https://myiWS.company.de:8011/NASApp/app1/mystartup.jsp

Apache Url rewrite for portal URLs

Hi,
I have a requirement where i need to write simple URL's for the default portal uRL's
for example
inspite of using default url like "http://myserver:port/portal/server.pt/community/abc_xyz/123/efg_jkl/12345",
if user uses
"http://myserver:port/portal/server.pt/xyz"
It should navigate to same default URL.
Can somebody let me know how this can be achieved.
I know Url rewriting is done through Apache Url rewrites but do not have an idea how apache does it with portal Url's. What configurations need to be done in order to manage portal Url's with apache rewrites.
Thanks
Ajay

Hi Ryan,
Thanks for the reply. The link shows how to write the Rewrite rules in apache. I am familier with that. The actual problem is that how can the portal Url's be controlled by apache rewrites. My apache and weblogic are both on the same server instance but after writing the rewrite in httpd.conf file. It does not work out. Just want to know how can i tell apache to handle my portal Url's too.
Is there any specific entry that we need to make for doing this.
Thanks

Apache URL rewriting not working while "AllowOverride All"

Hello,
I have a small website hosted at my ISP. The sources are in Subversion and I wanted to use my personal Sites folder as a testbed. Edited /private/etc/apache2/users/ringods.conf to
<Directory "/Users/ringods/Sites/">
Options FollowSymLinks Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
I stopped and started Web Sharing again, but accessing http://localhost/~ringods/ still gives me a 404 Not Found error.
Here is the .htaccess file that works at my ISP but not on my local machine:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+).html$ cgi-bin/get.py?item=$1
RewriteRule ^$ index.html
The files in my Sites folder are world-readable, and cgi-bin/get.py is executable as well.
Anyone an idea?
Ringo

Yes, these are the same parts I put in place at my ISP. Can you point me to the other places that need activation for cgi-bin to work?
Tnx,
Ringo

Using Tomcat URL rewrite valve

http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/rewrite.html
Looks like the latest version of Tomcat has added support for URL rewriting similar to Apache mod_rewrite
I can't seem to find any documentation other than the page above.
Has anyone used this to, for example, rewrite APEX URLs from http://host:port/apex/... to http://host:port/pls/apex ? Where should we put the RewriteCond and RewriteRule directives?
Thanks

I just went though this, spent about two days trying to figure out how to do with only tomcat and gave up. I found and used urlrewrite.. The instructions are right on main page but are vague. I've given "hints" below. My info assumes you renamed ords.war to apex.war.   I tried to post full details of my exploits/trials/troubles using the Oracle blog but it errored out.
http://tuckey.org/urlrewrite/
Step 1 say to place the file in WEB-INF/lib. For Tomcat, WEB-INF is the Tomcat application directory, mine was /opt/apache-tomcat-7.0.56.   Place in the <tomcat_app_dir>/lib directory.
Step 2 says to edit the web.xml file, adding the config text for urlrewrite. This file is located in <tomcat_app_dir>/ROOT/WEB-INF Copy text and paste just above the </web-app> tag at the bottom of the <tomcat_app_dir>/ROOT/WEB-INF/web.xml file.
Step 3 talks about editing urlrewite.xml file, which doesn't exist. You must create this file, in the same directory, <tomcat_app_dir>/ROOT/WEB-INF. The following is the contents of mine.
<urlrewrite use-query-string="true">
                <note>
                 rewrite from /pls/apex to pls
                </note>
       <rule>
            <from>/pls/apex/f\?p(.*)</from>
            <to type="redirect">/apex/f?p$1</to>
        </rule>
</urlrewrite>
You can check that urlrewite is working by accessing the admin/test page from the localhost....<servername>:8080/rewrite-status. The page shows you the rule and what it thinks it's going to do.
You now need to restart Tomcat and your old URL <servername>/pls/apex should work for your users who have bookmarked your old apex apps. It works for the new URL as well: <servername>/apex
I noticed you are also referencing port numbers in your sample url. Take a look at this blog post below, specifically step 6 and 7 to learn how to redirect to 80, so you don't have to use a port.

J2EE: Explanation of URL rewriting?

Hi there fellow forumites,
I'm reading up on the implicit object Session in regards to JSP. Session state is usually done by maintaining a cookie that is sent to the client. If clients have cookies disabled, the Session object falls back on a method called "URL rewriting" to maintain state across many request/response calls. I've googled for this and searched the forums, but the web results are deeply technical and seem specific to ASP.NET and Apache modules and I've found nothing satisfactory in forum posts that explain it.
Can someone give a short description on how this "URL rewriting" works and why I need to rewrite any embedded URLs with the appropriate Response object methods?
Is it encoded in the HTTP header like parameters or something?
Thanks all.

i can't answer that, i've never actually written
anything with j2ee. if you mean will they
automatically append to any url you write (with
Response.Write (or similar))? I doubt it. you
probably have to do it yourself, or call some
"WriteURL" function.Thats the methods of the Response object I was referring to (encodeURL(String)). Sorry, I didn't realise you'd not done any J2EE, so I was rabbiting on and assuming that you knew what I was on about :) I think I've answered my own question on that with your help, so thanks again.

(OT) Incompatible Apache Mod-Rewrite Rules

The following Apache mod-rewrite rule works:
RewriteRule ^About/([a-zA-Z0-9_/-]+)/?$
About/index.php?bout=$1 [L]
It displays URL's like mysite/About/Webmaster and
mysite/About/Search.
I've finally figured out how to apply a mod-rewrite rule to
my site's
home page...
RewriteRule ^/?([-a-zA-Z0-9_/]+)/?$ /index.php?home=$1 [L]
It displays URL's like mysite/Arizona and mysite/Africa.
But when I combine them...
RewriteRule ^/?([-a-zA-Z0-9_/]+)/?$ /index.php?home=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^About/([a-zA-Z0-9_/-]+)/?$
About/index.php?bout=$1 [L]
The first rewrite rule appears to knock the second rule out
of action.
Does anyone know how to modify either rewrite rule to make
them compatible?
Thanks.

I'm not an expert on mod_rewrite, but you might be able to
get what you want
simply by reversing the order of the rules:
RewriteRule ^About/([a-zA-Z0-9_/-]+)/?$
About/index.php?bout=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^/?([-a-zA-Z0-9_/]+)/?$ /index.php?home=$1 [L]
In theory, that should redirect your /About pages, and the
[L] tells Apache
not to parse any more rewrite rules, so the first rule (which
looks like it
simply redirects *everything*) wouldn't come into play.
There's something about times when Apache still parses
rewrite rules even
after the [L] flag, though, so that might not work. Why don't
you see if
that works, and if it doesn't, we can look at it further.

ADF application - URL rewriting

Hello All,
Has anyone configured URL rewriting in OHS using Apache mod_rewrite ? One of the business requirement for the ADF application we're building is to have user friend URLs like http://hostname/portal/q/myquotes.do instead of default URLs like http://hostname:7777/portal/faces/quote/myquotes.jspx. It would be of great help if you've any useful suggestions. Please let me know.
Thanks in advance for your help.
-Vijay

Weblogic has a module for OHS which takes care of simple requirements of forwarding.
Entry in httpd.conf is something like this (i am using cluster):
<IfModule mod_weblogic.c>
WebLogicCluster 172.23.210.13:7003,172.23.210.22:7005
MatchExpression /console
</IfModule>
mod_rewrite will be no different from normal. As in nothing special for ADF/Weblogic app server.

IIS 7.5 URL Rewrite: Hit specific page of a web application but should be redirected to another application's page

I have deployed 2 different web application on IIS 7.5 running on Windows Server 2008 R2 but on different port numbers i.e. one application deployed on port no. 1776 and another on 8091. I want to rewrite URL in such a way that if i hit any page of first
application such as default.aspx then it will be redirected to particular page of another application along with some changes in url.
Example: if i access any page from first application like:
http://g2wv126rbsc:1776/sites/main/commercial/commercial-solutions/financing/default1.aspx
then it should redirect to specific page of another application along with some changes in url:
http://g2wv126rbsc:8091/main/commercial/commercial-solutions/financing/default2.aspx
Note: In above mentioned url, also removed "sites".
I tried to create a inbound rule through URL Rewrite module (installed on IIS 7.5) by selecting Action as "Rewrite" but didn't find any success.
I need some examples if anyone has come across same kind of issue.
Thanks in advance.

Please post ASP.NET questions in the ASP.NET forums (http://forums.asp.net ).

ColdFusion with IIS URL Rewrite - Page never finishes loading

I am running CF10 on IIS 7.5 with URL Rewrite module installed.
All the rewrite rules work perfectly and ColdFusion is returning the correct pages. In order to get the page displayed in the browser I have to manually set the 'content-length' value in Application.cfc like this:
<cfcomponent>
<cffunction name="onRequestEnd">
<cfheader name="Content-Length" value="#getPageContext().getCFOutput().getBuffer().size()#" />
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
Without this code the browser does not display the page. However, even though it is now displaying the page, it is not doing it correctly. The page never finishes loading fully and not all of the HTML content seems to be on the page.
I have tried to add a <cfflush> tag after setting the 'content-length' but it makes no difference. I don't understand why this is happening but I know that it has happened to someone else who was using htaccess: http://forums.devshed.com/coldfusion-development-84/page-not-finishing-loading-coldfusion- and-htaccess-bug-575906.html

IIS Reverse Proxy with URL rewrite.

Hi all, hoping to leverage the wealth of knowledge contained here.
Any assistance would be very welcome.
I'm having an issue getting a reverse proxy and URL rewrite working in IIS 7.0.
I need to redirect all requests with a specific virtual directory suffix only.
ie; https://domain.test.com/outbound/Content/query_etc
With /Outbound/ being the trigger.
This should be redirected to http://10.10.10.10/inbound/Content/query_etc
While at the same time, requests without the /outbound/ suffix should be handled locally.
I have configured the reverse proxy as described in a few articles, and have had no luck.
Here's a snippet from my (sanitized) web.config at the site level.
<rewrite>
<outboundRules>
<rule name="ReverseProxyOutboundRule1" preCondition="ResponseIsHtml1">
<match filterByTags="A" pattern="^http(s)?://10.10.10.10/inbound/(.*)" />
<action type="Rewrite" value="https://domain.test.com/outbound/{R:2}" />
</rule>
<preConditions>
<preCondition name="ResponseIsHtml1">
<add input="{RESPONSE_CONTENT_TYPE}" pattern="^text/html" />
</preCondition>
</preConditions>
</outboundRules>
<rules>
<rule name="ReverseProxyInboundRule1" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^outbound/(.*)" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="http://10.10.10.10/inbound/{R:1}" appendQueryString="true" logRewrittenUrl="false" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
To me, this looks correct, yet it doesn't work.
With this, I get the normal 404 - Error Code 0x80070002, with the text indicating the local directory doesn't exist, so.... not being picked up by the filter for redirection.

Hi Andrew,
Looking at your requirements it appears you need Reverse Proxy To Another Site/Server.
By using URL Rewrite Module together with
Application Request Routing module you can have IIS 7 act as a
reverse proxy.
It seems like URL Rewrite can't re-route the request somewhere else out of the server.
Even when you rewrite the url the actual connection remains with the server. Hence if your original server doesn't have /inbound/Content/query_etc it will fail with 404.
Hosting multiple domain names under a single account using URL Rewrite.
It’s a common desire to have a single IIS website that handles multiple sites with different domain names.

URL Rewrite Rule: HTTP to HTTPS Not Working

Here is my problem. I cannot get HTTP to HTTPS redirect to work using the URL Rewrite module. I am using version 2, by the way, which I understand is the latest version. I've also enabled the "Proxy Server" and Application Request Routing"
features.
I've trolled through the Internet for 2 days now for solutions to my problem, including the ones provided by the TechNet forums and by MVP Scott Forsyth. I've tried over 30 solutions, and none have resolved my issue. Granted some of the solutions I've tried
may have been repeats of others. After trying so many, I have had a hard time discerning the differences. Does it really matter, for instance if the pattern match for the {HTTPS} input is specified as
"^off$" or just "off"? I see this discrepancy (among others) everywhere. It seems like there are so many variations out there. It is quite confusing for the uninitiated and the newbies like myself to the
URL Rewrite technology. I have enabled and consulted my "Failed Request Tracing Rules" logs but cannot make any sense of the cryptic information it is providing.
I just cannot get my reverse proxy server to redirect http requests from the Internet to https to my internal web server. When a user specifies "https://server1.xxxxx.com". he is able to access the internal server via the reverse proxy (IIS) server.
But when he specifies "http://server1.xxxxx.com" he receives "Server Error 500 - Internal server error.There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed."
At this point I am at my wits end, and am even considering configuring the protocol translation on our firewall. But this not my preference as it presents another layer of complexity, and device to troubleshoot later on. Below I've pasted my entire web.config
file with my most current version of the rule in question (in bold) for your review. I started to paste just the specific rule, but thought you might need to see the entire file in case something else may be conflicting with the rule.
Thank you in advance for your help.

URL rewriting for a WebService Consumer Proxy

Hi all,
Did anybody come across this issue?
I have a SAP System - let's call it "TM" - that I want to bind with another non-SAP one - let's call it "FB" - without any PI between them.
The communication is made as a Service Consumer (TM side), the Proxy (see image below) and Proxy-Implementation Class being generated automatically after the ".wsdl" file and the "url" given by the documentation of FB.
Everything looks good! All the Methods (operations) that are available from the service have been added to the Implementing Class.
After the Proxy generation, I also created the Logical Port (in transaction SOAMANAGER - see image below) where the path, host, prefix, and all the necessary stuff were also automatically created after the ".wsdl" document.
So far so good! When I want to test it and to play along with this connection TM -> FB, I am creating the Proxy-Object, I am filling the required User / Pass / and an ID in order to call the first method. As you have probably guessed already: LOGIN.
    ls_in_login-login_request-id             = '...some ID...'.
    ls_in_login-login_request-user          = '...some user ...'.
    ls_in_login-login_request-password = '...some password'.
TRY.
         CREATE OBJECT lo_proxy
           EXPORTING
             logical_port_name = 'ZAS_PORT_FB'.
     CATCH cx_ai_system_fault INTO lo_ref.    " Application Integration: Technischer Fehler
ENDTRY.
   TRY.
       CALL METHOD lo_proxy->login
         EXPORTING
           input = ls_in_login
         IMPORTING
           output = ls_out_login.
     CATCH cx_ai_system_fault INTO lo_ref.    " Application Integration: Technischer Fehler
     CATCH cx_ai_application_fault INTO lo_ref.    " Application Integration: Applikations Fehle
ENDTRY.
As a response, (meaning that the connection works and that the WebService acknowledges the connection) I get a "SessionID" -> a string of characters.
In the Wiki of the Service is written that from this point on, every other methods (but I mean ALL of them, logout() also...) need to be called along with this SessionID. The problem is, that this SessionID doesn't have a specific place in the "inbound"-structure of the methods, but this mechanism of passing around the SessionID must be made with URL rewriting. Another solution would be to use COOKIES. From my point of view, a so-called URL rewriting would be easier, right?
In the documentation is the following info written:
URL rewriting (recommended):
The JSessionId is attached to the URL of the SOAP request, as follows: http://[URL];jsessionid=[jsessionid]
Caused by tecnical reasons, it is necessary to specify the static string “;jsessionid=” in lower case letters.
I have turned this "LO_PROXY" object around and around and around... trying to find a solution... a method...anything that would let me rewrite the URL, but nothing...
I have also tried to use ce CL_HTTP_CLIENT class and to create myself the client and the URL and the host and everything manually... but in this case how do I end up in calling a specific "custom" method -> for instance... how do I call the "LOGIN"... or the LOGOUT...where do I put the parameters, etc?
Do you have any suggestions / ideas / hints ?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Warm regards,
Alex

Hi Stefan,
You are right! It doesn't support to set URL / HTTP parameters outside the logical port.
Nevertheless, I have debugged the whole engine and found out that via custom coding (enhancements / modifications) and with extreme attention, the URL can be rewritten as desired.
When a method of the proxy is called, let's say for instance: lo_proxy->logout (...) - as written up for example, the method CL_HTTP_CLIENT=>CREATE_BY_URL is called dynamically.
In this method, in the "url" variable is the desired URL that needed to be rewritten.
Here it's about an importing parameter, so it cannot be changed so easily, but it's not impossible.
Another place where a nice Enhancement can be created is at the beginning of the FM "SWLWP_URI_PARSE".
You need to be very careful not to change these places in all cases (this CREATE_BY_URL will be called pretty much), JUST when the specific conditions are fulfilled.
Have a great day / week!
Warm regards,

Hi
I have one other quetion related to my project I am working and need to finish tonight.
I read one table in first JSP and want to send one column, eventname to the other JSP. Can I use URL-rewriting. I need to keep the event name thruoghout too.
Is this syntax correct..
Please help me !!!

Syntax is:
<a href="ListEvents.jsp?event=eventname">Click me</a>In the JSP, there are two things you may need to do when generating the link.
1. Encode the URL - this is needed if any arguments (in this case "eventname") might include spaces or special characters.
2. Apply URL rewriting info if this may be needed. This will add "&JSESSIONID=xxxxx" if required.
<%
String link = "ListEvents.jsp?event=" + getEventName(); // or whatever gets the event name
link = java.util.URLEncode.encode(s,"UTF-8"); // encode the event name data
link = response.encodeURL(link); // add the session id if URL rewriting in use
%>
<a href="<%=link%>">Click Me</a>The event name is retrieved using request.getParameter("event")

URL rewriting issue

Hello all,
I am having a url rewriting issue where the first time someone accesses the website with a browser that has cookies enabled my jsp pages will still encode all of the URL's with the jsessionid. Which I believe should not happen unless cookies are disabled.
Why is this occuring?
Once the user goes to another page in the site or the second time they bring up the site in the same browser the jsessionid is not written to the URL links. This only happens on first access.
I am using Tomcat 5.5
response.encodeURL() to encode the links
Is this a container or programming error?
Thank you all very much for your time in reading this!

Ok, thank you.
Based on this: http://www.sciabarra.com/fatwire/2011/04/17/improving-the-firstsiteii-url-assembler/
I think my approach would work if I remove the Asset API stuff from here and put them into a helper class, which would be then called from the wrapper JSP.
I'd rather not install 3rd-party extensions just for url rewriting, at least not yet...
