When tricks like time-dependent content should happen a
lot of webmasters still use CGI scripts which do for
instance redirects to specialized pages. How can it be done
via mod_rewrite?
There are a lot of variables named TIME_xxx
for rewrite conditions. In conjunction with the special
lexicographic comparison patterns <STRING,
>STRING and =STRING we can
do time-dependent redirects:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{TIME_HOUR}%{TIME_MIN} >0700
RewriteCond %{TIME_HOUR}%{TIME_MIN} <1900
RewriteRule ^foo\.html$ foo.day.html
RewriteRule ^foo\.html$ foo.night.html
This provides the content of foo.day.html
under the URL foo.html from
07:00-19:00 and at the remaining time the
contents of foo.night.html. Just a nice
feature for a homepage...
I've searched a little but didn't find anything.
I'm thinking about putting something online that may use a bit of bandwidth, so
I'd like to retrict access to times when the office isn't open. Ideally, I'd
like to have a page displayed to people who try to hit the page explaining the
situation.
I could do this with some combination of cron jobs and scripts (OS is OpenBSD)
but I wondered if there was a way to make it a property of a <Directory /> in
the httpd.conf file. Or some other nice built-in way that doesn't resort to
replacing httpd.conf and restarting Apache twice a day.
Thank you,
Alan
