A Day in the Life of #Apache (O'Reilly)

[Posted May 4, 2005 by cook]

Rich Bowen explains Apache's RewriteMap on O'Reilly. "A huge number of the questions on #apache have to do with mod_rewrite. And, fairly frequently, I find myself thinking that the problem being discussed would be so much easier to solve if we could just write a Perl script to deal with it. Of course, you can, using the RewriteMap, but it's moderately hard to come by good examples of using this, either in the documentation, or elsewhere online. As some of you may know, I'm working on the documentation, and, hopefully, it will soon contain some good examples of using RewriteMap. But, until then, this article will serve to provide a simple, as well as a not-so-simple, example."
