Hi,Sorry if this has been coverned - tried a few searches on google and this list's archives to no avail.
I'd like to move my server over to a templating system.Specifically, what I'd like to do is to be able to execute one named CGI (probably under FastCGI) where Apache cannot find an existing target file (ideally with named extensions like .html but that's not so important) after URL-path translation phase.
eg /var/www/ contains: template.cgi index.tmpl shops.tmpl specialcase.html anotherspecial.php morespecial.cgi ----- requests to the webserver should handled thus: http(s)://webserver/index.html -> template.cgi http(s)://webserver/shops.html -> template.cgi http(s)://webserver/wibble.html -> template.cgi http(s)://webserver/specialcase.html -> specialcase.html http(s)://webserver/anotherspecial.php -> anotherspecial.php http(s)://webserver/morespecial.cgi -> morespecial.cgiThis will allow template.cgi to look at the request and decide if the request was X.html and X.tmpl exists, to run template.cgi on X.tmpl. template.cgi will handle the error page when required.
Special cases exceptions can be handled just by having the target file present.
I'll also need to ideally have this work on any sub path too http(s)://webserver/wibble/index.html -> template.cgihttp(s)://webserver/wibble/special.html -> wibble/special.html if wibble/special.html exists
with an easy way to disable it en-bloc for certain paths.Sounds like a rewrite rule, but I've always struggled with those and really don't know how to attack this.
Any pointers, even "google for blah" would be most appreciated.
