Ah, I see, Ns_ConnRedirect it must be. I looked into the source and it
goes very deep just by URL, before expanding it to a path, so not very
useful indeed.
What you can do is to write a simple filter which rewrites the url to some
other place under pageroot which is blocked from direct access. You could,
Sound like that would be harder (config wise) for the users, not optimal.
Hmmm, I think I just hit the jackpot, Ns_UrlToFileProc in the
NsServer->fastpath struct. There even is an example on how to use it:
http://www.aolserver.com/docs/devel/c/c-examples.html (example 2: "Alias")
Looks like that does what I want it to do. That makes it even simpler
than I thought it would be, I was afraid I might have to do a lot of
this stuff manually. (ie: Ns_ConnReturnFile and the like)
Loading C level modules using the AOLserver api will likely need to be done at
the correct time, before tcl modules are sourced, so I don't see how to jump
ahead and read a tcl configuration file to load an AOLserver C module.
However, if it is just a Tcl .so module, you can do this easily right now.
Reading http://www.aolserver.com/docs/devel/c/api/c-ch393.htm, it sounds
like any of your own C modules load before nsd starts sourcing the Tcl
libraries (modules/tcl), so you should be able to tell it to go look
somewhere else for them too. I'll keep looking. One down, one to go.
