Problem of file redirection

Hello,

I am trying to redirect all "/claflib/*" URL inside a HTML generated file to another URL like http://toto/claflib/*.
Inside the iw.cfg file, I have added this line :

[iwproxy_external_remap]
_regex=^(/claflib/.*)=http://toto$1

but when I make a preview or generate the HTML file, the redirection is not correct : with iwproxy -d, I found these lines :

[areaization, external_remap, and iwproxy_remap:]
/claflib/bullets/plane.gif
---> http://toto/claflib/bullets/plane.gif
[Response sent back to client:]
HTTP/1.0 302 Redirect
Connection: close
Location: http://toto/iw/cci/meta/no-injection/claflib/bullets/plane.gif

How can I delete the part of URL "iw/cci/meta/no-injection" which has been added and prevent me to see my picture.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Regards,
Paypay

Seems like you need to put this entry under [iwproxy_preconnect_remap].

[iwproxy_external_remap] is rarely used... I've never seen it in use.

Thanks for your reply,

I tried to put it on [iwproxy_preconnect_remap] but I dont see my picture and in the proxy log, no redirection is done :

[areaization, external_remap, and iwproxy_remap:]
/claflib/bullets/plane.gif
---> /iw-mount/default/main/Airbus_People/eSites/CMP/V04_01/WORKAREA/INITIAL/claflib/bullets/plane.gif

[Response sent back to client:]
HTTP/1.0 302 Redirect

Connection: close

Location: /iw/cci/meta/no-injection/iw-mount/default/main/Airbus_People/eSites/CMP/V04_01/WORKAREA/INITIAL/claflib/bullets/plane.gif

Sorry I missed this


_regex=^(/claflib/.*)=http://toto$1

Get rid of the carrot... The remaps receive the full area path - eg

/iw-mount/default/main/.../

try this


_regex=(/claflib/.*)=http://toto$1

You'll need to adjust the regex if that prefix can occur as a part of a branch or workarea name.

Yes it works but the problem in this case that is all URLs which contain "/claflib" will be redirected.
In fact I use the FormPublisher and inside my generated files, I'd like to have two types of links :
- links will be redirected to http://toto
- all others links are relative paths.
With this solution, if the user creates a directory "claflib" (term often used) with documents, all links he will add in the form will be redirected to http://toto even if I change his links from the DCR to relative paths in the generated file.
That's why I have added ^.

Hi,

I am facing similar problem.

Where I am trying to redirect images of subbranch to another branch.

Teamsite Structure is as follows:

Internet

Branch1

Branch2
--SubBranch21

i am trying to redirect images refernce from branch21 to branch. All my image files are located in Branch1. I want to use them from SubBranch21.

For this redirect i added following line to iwproxy_preconnect_remap, even then its not working.

_regex=^/iw-mount/internet/main/Branch2/SubBranch21/WORKAREA/content/Branch1/images/(.*)=/iw-mount/internet/main/Branch1/STAGING/images/$1

Can any one help me in resolving this. Please let me know if i need to restart teamsite server for this change in iw.cfg.

Thanks in advance

If you change the proxy settings - you need to restart the iwproxy daemon / service in order for it to take effect.

On Unix - you can use 'ps' to find the PIDs for iwproxy - kill both processes, and then (as root) run it again from the command line (as long as you don't use the '-d' flag, I believe it will fork - if not you can always push it into the background)

On Windows - you can stop/start the iwproxy service (I believe: net stop iwproxy -and- net start iwproxy will do the job)

Also - I think your regex could use a little modification:


_regex=^/iw-mount/internet/main/Branch2/SubBranch21/((WORKAREA|EDITION)/[^/]+|STAGING)/Branch1/(images/.*)=/iw-mount/internet/main/Branch1/STAGING/$3

That way, the redirection will occour regardless of what area you're in (though editions will render current versions of the images instead of historical versions)

Hi,

With the suggestion from Fish i am successful in configuring image file redirects. Now i started configuring rewrite rule for include files. The changes are not getting effect. What all i did is just added below line to 'iw_ts_rewrite_via_mod_rewrite.conf'

RewriteRule ^(.*)/Branch2/Branch21/(.*)/content/inc/(.*)$ $1/Branch1/$2/content/inc/$3 [PT]

My include files reside in Branch1and i am trying to access them from Branch21 sub-branch of Branch2.

Can any one help me in letting me know if i am wrong with my rewrite rule and let me know if i need to restart any process.

Thanks

First thing, are you able to include files from the same branch itself ? Your index.html of bracnh1 can include test.html of branch1? If no you need to edit the httpd.conf of your customer webserver.
You should have folowing entries in your httpd.conf

AddModule mod_include.c

Options Includes shud be set

#
# To use server-parsed HTML files
#
AddType text/html .html
AddHandler server-parsed .html

Then stop and start the Apache ..

Note: I assume you are using Apache as your customer webserver.

Next step is to provide the relative path in your index.html file or you can edit iw.cfg to write the remap rules
