What I meant specifically was that any module can implement a rewritemap internal function.Yes, the feature seems to be a bit too specific for general implementation in mod_rewrite. Ben: have a look at how mod_rewrite accesses its own ap_register_rewrite_mapfunc via map_pfn_register = APR_RETRIEVE_OPTIONAL_FN(ap_register_rewrite_mapfunc); Any module can access the function using this construct. And then mod_rewrite registers builtin rewrite map functions e.g. like map_pfn_register("escape", rewrite_mapfunc_escape);
Your own module can also register your own functions like myuid and mygid: map_pfn_register("escape", my_mapfunc_uid);
Oups, I meant: map_pfn_register("myuid", my_mapfunc_uid);
Then you can configure a RewriteMap to use these functions and they will call directly the my_mapfunc_uid function in your module to get the uid without the need of an external process with locking etc. In short: the list of builtin functions for RewriteMap is extensible and can be extended by 3rd-arty modules using the above method. If uid and gid alone isn't powerful enough, you can code whatever logic you need in your map function and register it with a name that is reasonable for you and doesn't clash with what's already there in mod_rewrite.

Yes a new rewritemap seems to be the solution. type name : usr functions : uid, gid parameter : name or #uid For example : RewriteMap getuid usr:uid RewriteMap getgid usr:gid C functions getpwnam and getpwuid would do the job. Is a pull request here the right method to proceed ? https://github.com/apache/httpd/blob/trunk/modules/mappers/mod_rewrite.c Thank you very much, Ben
