IntrFilt Aliasing Directories


Directory aliasing controls how a URL is converted into a file and a directory. V1.05 of IntrFilt provides a facility similar to that within the IBM ICS server.

Each entry consists of a command, URL fragment, wildcard indicator, Path fragment, wildcard indicator and is terminated by a semi-colon ";".

Commands:

  1. MAP Converts a matching URL fragment into the path fragment, and continues parsing.
  2. PASS Converts a matching URL fragment into the path fragment and returns finished path.
  3. EXEC Converts a matching URL fragment into the path fragment, and returns path for cgi to execute
  4. USER Matches on URL caontaining "~username/", extracts username part and replaces "~" in the path fragment.

The wildcard indicator must take a value of 0 (NOT wild) or 1 (WILD). If the URL fragment is not wild, then the match must be exact. If the path fragment is not wild, then its value will be returned "as is", without appending any unmatched part of the URL.

The path must be a fully qualified drive:\path\file by the time parsing is complete.

The commands are parsed once for each request, in sequential order. parsing stops after a matching PASS, EXEC or USER command.
