I am attempting to use an external program in RewriteMap. It seems that no matter what I do, data never makes it to my program. I'm on an Ubuntu 11.04 machine, running Apache 2.2.17. My /etc/apache2/sites-available/mynewsite looks like this: RewriteEngine On RewriteLock "/var/run/rewrite-lock.lock" RewriteMap rmsp "prg:/usr/local/bin/rmsp.py" My .htaccess file looks like this: RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule foo/([^/]*) /bar/${rmsp:$1}/feed [R=301,L] rmsp.py: #!/usr/bin/python -u import sys import logging logging.basicConfig(filename='/home/user/vhost/log/rmsp.log',level=logging.DEBUG) logging.debug('rmsp started.') while True: logging.debug('Waiting for input...') data = sys.stdin.readline() logging.debug('Data recieved: %s' % data ) if data: logging.debug('printing: %s' % data ) print data, sys.stdout.flush() else: logging.debug('eof. Breaking...') break When I look at the log, I see: DEBUG:root:rmsp started. DEBUG:root:Waiting for input... So, for some reason, my program is never getting any data. When I turn on Rewrite logging, I don't see the "map lookup OK: map=rmsp key=stuff -> val=stuff". It just does this: 10.1.10.14 - - [24/Jun/2011:13:11:17 --0600] [mytestmachine.mikerocks.com/sid#7f9c98c36760][rid#7f9c98ed6fb0/initial] (3) [perdir /home/user/vhost/] applying pattern 'foo/([^/]*)' to uri 'foo/ilovekittens' 10.1.10.14 - - [24/Jun/2011:13:11:17 --0600] [mytestmachine.mikerocks.com/sid#7f9c98c36760][rid#7f9c98ed6fb0/initial] (2) [perdir /home/user/vhost/] rewrite 'tag/ilovekittens' -> '/bar//feed' 10.1.10.14 - - [24/Jun/2011:13:11:17 --0600] [mytestmachine.mikerocks.com/sid#7f9c98c36760][rid#7f9c98ed6fb0/initial] (2) [perdir /home/user/vhost/] explicitly forcing redirect with http://mytestmachine.mikerocks.com/tag//feed I've tried using the internal function "int" mapping, and that works. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Is there other information that is important/helpful? -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/mod_rewrite%3A-External-RewriteMap-program-never-gets-input-tp31923146p31923146.html Sent from the Apache HTTP Server - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
