+
+
+ <p>
+ The <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewritemap">RewriteMap</a></code> directive
+ defines an external function which can be called in the context of
+ <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewriterule">RewriteRule</a></code> or
+ <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewritecond">RewriteCond</a></code> directives to
+ perform rewriting that is too complicated, or too specialized to be
+ performed just by regular expressions. The source of this lookup can
+ be any of the types listed in the sections below, and enumerated in
+ the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewritemap">RewriteMap</a></code> reference
+ documentation.</p>
+
+ <p>The syntax of the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewritemap">RewriteMap</a></code>
+ directive is as follows:</p>
+
+<pre class="prettyprint lang-config">RewriteMap <em>MapName</em> <em>MapType</em>:<em>MapSource</em>
+</pre>
+
+
+ <p>The <a id="mapfunc" name="mapfunc"><em>MapName</em></a> is an
+ arbitray name that you assign to the map, and which you will use in
+ directives later on. Arguments are passed to the map via the
+ following syntax:</p>
+
+ <p class="indent">
+ <strong>
+ <code>${</code> <em>MapName</em> <code>:</code> <em>LookupKey</em>
+ <code>}</code> <br /> <code>${</code> <em>MapName</em> <code>:</code>
+ <em>LookupKey</em> <code>|</code> <em>DefaultValue</em> <code>}</code>
+ </strong>
+ </p>
+
+ <p>When such a construct occurs, the map <em>MapName</em> is
+ consulted and the key <em>LookupKey</em> is looked-up. If the
+ key is found, the map-function construct is substituted by
+ <em>SubstValue</em>. If the key is not found then it is
+ substituted by <em>DefaultValue</em> or by the empty string
+ if no <em>DefaultValue</em> was specified.</p>
+
+ <p>For example, you can define a
+ <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewritemap">RewriteMap</a></code> as:</p>
+ <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">RewriteMap examplemap "txt:/path/to/file/map.txt"</pre>
+
+ <p>You would then be able to use this map in a
+ <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewriterule">RewriteRule</a></code> as follows:</p>
+ <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">RewriteRule "^/ex/(.*)" "${examplemap:$1}"</pre>
+
+
+<p>A default value can be specified in the event that nothing is found
+in the map:</p>
+
+<pre class="prettyprint lang-config">RewriteRule "^/ex/(.*)" "${examplemap:$1|/not_found.html}"</pre>
+
+
+<div class="note"><h3>Per-directory and .htaccess context</h3>
+<p>
+The <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewritemap">RewriteMap</a></code> directive may not be
+used in <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#directory">&lt;Directory&gt;</a></code> sections or
+<code>.htaccess</code> files. You must
+declare the map in server or virtualhost context. You may use the map,
+once created, in your <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewriterule">RewriteRule</a></code> and
+<code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewritecond">RewriteCond</a></code> directives in those
+scopes. You just can't <strong>declare</strong> it in those scopes.</p>
+</div>
+
+<p>The sections that follow describe the various <em>MapType</em>s that
+may be used, and give examples of each.</p>
+ </div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div>
+<div class="section">
+<h2><a name="int" id="int">int: Internal Function</a></h2>
+
+
+ <p>When a MapType of <code>int</code> is used, the MapSource is one
+ of the available internal <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewritemap">RewriteMap</a></code>
+ functions. Module authors can provide
+ additional internal functions by registering them with the
+ <code>ap_register_rewrite_mapfunc</code> API.
+ The functions that are provided by default are:
+ </p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li><strong>toupper</strong>:<br />
+ Converts the key to all upper case.</li>
+ <li><strong>tolower</strong>:<br />
+ Converts the key to all lower case.</li>
+ <li><strong>escape</strong>:<br />
+ Translates special characters in the key to
+ hex-encodings.</li>
+ <li><strong>unescape</strong>:<br />
+ Translates hex-encodings in the key back to
+ special characters.</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>
+ To use one of these functions, create a <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewritemap">RewriteMap</a></code> referencing
+ the int function, and then use that in your <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewriterule">RewriteRule</a></code>:
+ </p>
+
+ <p> <strong>Redirect a URI to an all-lowercase version of itself</strong></p>
+ <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">RewriteMap lc int:tolower
+RewriteRule "(.*)" "${lc:$1}" [R]</pre>
+
+
+ <div class="note">
+ <p>Please note that the example offered here is for
+ illustration purposes only, and is not a recommendation. If you want
+ to make URLs case-insensitive, consider using
+ <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_speling.html">mod_speling</a></code> instead.
+ </p>
+ </div>
+

+<div class="section">
+<h2><a name="txt" id="txt">txt: Plain text maps</a></h2>
+
+
+ <p>When a MapType of <code>txt</code> is used, the MapSource is a filesystem path to a
+ plain-text mapping file, containing one space-separated key/value pair
+ per line. Optionally, a line may contain a comment, starting with
+ a '#' character.</p>
+
+ <p>A valid text rewrite map file will have the following syntax:</p>
+
+ <div class="example"><p><code>
+ # Comment line<br />
+ <strong><em>MatchingKey</em> <em>SubstValue</em></strong><br />
+ <strong><em>MatchingKey</em> <em>SubstValue</em></strong> # comment<br />
+ </code></p></div>
+
+ <p>When the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewritemap">RewriteMap</a></code> is invoked
+ the argument is looked for in the
+ first argument of a line, and, if found, the substitution value is
+ returned.</p>
+
+ <p>For example, we can use a mapfile to translate product names to
+ product IDs for easier-to-remember URLs, using the following
+ recipe:</p>
+<p><strong>Product to ID configuration</strong></p>
+ <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">RewriteMap product2id "txt:/etc/apache2/productmap.txt"
+RewriteRule "^/product/(.*)" "/prods.php?id=${product2id:$1|NOTFOUND}" [PT]</pre>
+
+
+ <p>We assume here that the <code>prods.php</code> script knows what
+ to do when it received an argument of <code>id=NOTFOUND</code> when
+ a product is not found in the lookup map.</p>
+
+ <p>The file <code>/etc/apache2/productmap.txt</code> then contains
+ the following:</p>
+
+ <div class="example"><h3>Product to ID map</h3><p><code>
+##<br />
+## productmap.txt - Product to ID map file<br />
+##<br />
+<br />
+television 993<br />
+stereo 198<br />
+fishingrod 043<br />
+basketball 418<br />
+telephone 328
+ </code></p></div>
+
+ <p>Thus, when <code>http://example.com/product/television</code> is
+ requested, the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewriterule">RewriteRule</a></code> is
+ applied, and the request
+ is internally mapped to <code>/prods.php?id=993</code>.</p>
+
+ <div class="note"><h3>Note: .htaccess files</h3>
+ The example given is crafted to be used in server or virtualhost
+ scope. If you're planning to use this in a <code>.htaccess</code>
+ file, you'll need to remove the leading slash from the rewrite
+ pattern in order for it to match anything:
+ <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">RewriteRule "^product/(.*)" "/prods.php?id=${product2id:$1|NOTFOUND}" [PT]</pre>
+
+ </div>
+
+ <div class="note"><h3>Cached lookups</h3>
+ <p>
+ The looked-up keys are cached by httpd until the <code>mtime</code>
+ (modified time) of the mapfile changes, or the httpd server is
+ restarted. This ensures better performance on maps that are called
+ by many requests.
+ </p>
+ </div>

+<div class="section">
+<h2><a name="rnd" id="rnd">rnd: Randomized Plain Text</a></h2>
+
+
+ <p>When a MapType of <code>rnd</code> is used, the MapSource is a
+ filesystem path to a plain-text mapping file, each line of which
+ contains a key, and one or more values separated by <code>|</code>.
+ One of these values will be chosen at random if the key is
+ matched.</p>
+
+ <p>For example, you can use the following map
+ file and directives to provide a random load balancing between
+ several back-end servers, via a reverse-proxy. Images are sent
+ to one of the servers in the 'static' pool, while everything
+ else is sent to one of the 'dynamic' pool.</p>
+
+ <div class="example"><h3>Rewrite map file</h3><p><code>
+##<br />
+## map.txt -- rewriting map<br />
+##<br />
+<br />
+static www1|www2|www3|www4<br />
+dynamic www5|www6
+ </code></p></div>
+<p><strong>Configuration directives</strong></p>
+ <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">RewriteMap servers "rnd:/path/to/file/map.txt"
+
+RewriteRule "^/(.*\.(png|gif|jpg))" "http://${servers:static}/$1" [NC,P,L]
+RewriteRule "^/(.*)" "http://${servers:dynamic}/$1" [P,L]</pre>
+
+
+ <p>So, when an image is requested and the first of these rules is
+ matched, <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewritemap">RewriteMap</a></code> looks up the string
+ <code>static</code> in the map file, which returns one of the
+ specified hostnames at random, which is then used in the
+ <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewriterule">RewriteRule</a></code> target.</p>
+
+ <p>If you wanted to have one of the servers more likely to be chosen
+ (for example, if one of the server has more memory than the others,
+ and so can handle more requests) simply list it more times in the
+ map file.</p>
+
+ <div class="example"><p><code>
+static www1|www1|www2|www3|www4
+ </code></p></div>
+
+ </div><div class="top"><a href="#page-header"><img alt="top" src="../images/up.gif" /></a></div>
+<div class="section">
+<h2><a name="dbm" id="dbm">dbm: DBM Hash File</a></h2>
+
+
+ <p>When a MapType of <code>dbm</code> is used, the MapSource is a
+ filesystem path to a DBM database file containing key/value pairs to
+ be used in the mapping. This works exactly the same way as the
+ <code>txt</code> map, but is much faster, because a DBM is indexed,
+ whereas a text file is not. This allows more rapid access to the
+ desired key.</p>
+
+ <p>You may optionally specify a particular dbm type:</p>
+
+ <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">RewriteMap examplemap "dbm=sdbm:/etc/apache/mapfile.dbm"</pre>
+
+
+ <p>The type can be <code>sdbm</code>, <code>gdbm</code>, <code>ndbm</code>
+ or <code>db</code>.
+ However, it is recommended that you just use the <a href="../programs/httxt2dbm.html">httxt2dbm</a> utility that is
+ provided with Apache HTTP Server, as it will use the correct DBM library,
+ matching the one that was used when httpd itself was built.</p>
+
+ <p>To create a dbm file, first create a text map file as described
+ in the <a href="#txt">txt</a> section. Then run
+ <code>httxt2dbm</code>:</p>
+
+<div class="example"><p><code>
+$ httxt2dbm -i mapfile.txt -o mapfile.map
+</code></p></div>
+
+<p>You can then reference the resulting file in your
+<code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewritemap">RewriteMap</a></code> directive:</p>
+
+<pre class="prettyprint lang-config">RewriteMap mapname "dbm:/etc/apache/mapfile.map"</pre>
+
+
+<div class="note">
+<p>Note that with some dbm types, more than one file is generated, with
+a common base name. For example, you may have two files named
+<code>mapfile.map.dir</code> and <code>mapfiile.map.pag</code>. This is
+normal, and you need only use the base name <code>mapfile.map</code> in
+your <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewritemap">RewriteMap</a></code> directive.</p>
+</div>
+
+<div class="note"><h3>Cached lookups</h3>
+<p>
+The looked-up keys are cached by httpd until the <code>mtime</code>

+<h2><a name="prg" id="prg">prg: External Rewriting Program</a></h2>
+
+ <p>When a MapType of <code>prg</code> is used, the MapSource is a
+ filesystem path to an executable program which will providing the
+ mapping behavior. This can be a compiled binary file, or a program
+ in an interpreted language such as Perl or Python.</p>
+
+ <p>This program is started once, when the Apache HTTP Server is
+ started, and then communicates with the rewriting engine via
+ <code>STDIN</code> and <code>STDOUT</code>. That is, for each map
+ function lookup, it expects one argument via <code>STDIN</code>, and
+ should return one new-line terminated response string on
+ <code>STDOUT</code>. If there is no corresponding lookup value, the
+ map program should return the four-character string
+ "<code>NULL</code>" to indicate this.</p>
+
+ <p>External rewriting programs are not started if they're defined in
+ a context that does not have <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewriteengine">RewriteEngine</a></code> set to
+ <code>on</code>.</p>
+
+ <p>By default, external rewriting programs are run as the
+ user:group who started httpd. This can be changed on UNIX systems
+ by passing user name and group name as third argument to
+ <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewritemap">RewriteMap</a></code> in the
+ <code>username:groupname</code> format.</p>
+
+ <p>This feature utilizes the <code>rewrite-map</code> mutex,
+ which is required for reliable communication with the program.
+ The mutex mechanism and lock file can be configured with the
+ <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#mutex">Mutex</a></code> directive.</p>
+
+ <p>A simple example is shown here which will replace all dashes with
+ underscores in a request URI.</p>
+
+ <p><strong>Rewrite configuration</strong></p>
+ <pre class="prettyprint lang-config">RewriteMap d2u "prg:/www/bin/dash2under.pl" apache:apache

+ <pre class="prettyprint lang-perl">#!/usr/bin/perl
+$| = 1; # Turn off I/O buffering
+while (&lt;STDIN&gt;) {
+ s/-/_/g; # Replace dashes with underscores
+ print $_;
+}</pre>
+
+
+<div class="note"><h3>Caution!</h3>
+<ul>
+<li>Keep your rewrite map program as simple as possible. If the program
+hangs, it will cause httpd to wait indefinitely for a response from the
+map, which will, in turn, cause httpd to stop responding to
+requests.</li>
+<li>Be sure to turn off buffering in your program. In Perl this is done
+by the second line in the example script: <code>$| = 1;</code> This will
+of course vary in other languages. Buffered I/O will cause httpd to wait
+for the output, and so it will hang.</li>
+<li>Remember that there is only one copy of the program, started at
+server startup. All requests will need to go through this one bottleneck.
+This can cause significant slowdowns if many requests must go through
+this process, or if the script itself is very slow.</li>
