Hi,
We have recently installed Apache 2.0.54 and
very pleased with the product.
Now I need to understand how to setup mod_rewrite
for this senario (newbee question I guess)
We have some .jsp and servlets that are used as
normal within our web application (using mod_jk to forward these req. to a
tomcat process)
Some of these scripts are also accessed by external
script (ex. wget)
Because of the security product we are using for
single sign-on these scripts needs to be accessed with a differnt
URL
(this allowing the security product to handle the
authentiacatin differently: NTLM for users and Basic Auth. for
scripts)
So the same script (ex TheServlet) needs to be
accessed both using the URL
/webapp/servlet/TheServlet and
/script/servlet/TheServlet
The easy solution is of course to duplicate the
webapp and to create an additional script web application with the same scripts.
But
this is not very good from a maintance point of
view (needs to duplicate many scripts and helper classes)
But could this not be solved using
mod_rewrite?
Simpy to map /script to /webapp
Preferably we would like to control each indivdual
script and to have mod_rewrite to append some extra information so that
the
script could (if needed) identify if the invocation
was from a script of from a webapp user.
Please advice!
BR
Lars
