Re: Is it possible for Apache to randomly select different URLs to serve up?

[mraible <matt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It seems there's two ways to do this and I can't get either one to work. 

#1: Using a perl script:

RewriteMap router prg:/opt/local/apache2/conf/router.pl
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ${router} [R,L]

router.pl:

#!/usr/bin/perl
my $range = 3;
my $random_number = int(rand($range));

print "/?v=" . $random_number;

Going to "http://localhost"; in my browser results in:

http://localhost/$%7brouter%7d

#2 Using rnd

RewriteMap servers rnd:/opt/local/apache2/conf/servers.map
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ${servers} [R,L]

servers.map:
/?v=0|/?v=1|/?v=2

Going to "http://localhost"; in my browser results in:

http://localhost/$%7bservers%7d

All my mod_rewrite settings follow the 2nd </Directory> in my httpd.conf.
This is the one that starts with:

<Directory "/opt/local/apache2/htdocs">

I'm using Apache 2.2.4 on OS X.

I have the following just before the RewriteMap lines:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteLog "/opt/local/apache2/logs/rewrite.log"

For some reason rewrite.log is created, but nothing is in it.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Matt
