url_lfs_rewrite − a URL−rewriter based on local file existence
url_lfs_rewrite [−−debug] −−local−dir=/var/www/ [options]
Direct all request to files who are in a local directory to a local web server hosting this directory.
This program uses Squid concurrency support.
−−debug |
Write debug info to stderr. |
|||
−−local−dir |
Directory path under which the scripts searches for files. |
|||
−−to−scheme |
Scheme to use for the redirected URL. |
Default: http
−−to−host |
Domain name to use for the redirected URL. |
Default: localhost
−−to−path |
URL path to add as prefix for the redirected URL path. |
If set it must end with a ’/’.
Default: use the original URL path.
* The
−−local−dir parameter must end with a
’/’. Otherwise no
file paths will be found.
* URL with no
filename in the path can match directories on the local
filesystem and be wrongly redirected to the local web
server.
* Any scheme
name accepted by the Perl URL library can be used
as the −−to−scheme parameter. However only
schemes supported by
Squid will work.
* URL containing
query-string are not handled well and will not
be rewritten even if the base script or file exists on the
local
system.

This helper can redirect to any web server but only does so if there is a file matching the URL path segment in the local filesystem. Normal configuration requires a web server running on localhost serving up files from a local disk (eg. \var\www\localhost). Configuration of that web server is not covered here.
