Hi, folks, I am hoping to redirect URLs like:
http://example.com/?question to http://example.com/doc/question.mhtml ########################### with dhandler's mechanism and currently in /dhandler, I set: <%init> my %redirects = ( '/?question' => '/doc/question.mhtml' ); # or combine $r->uri and $r->args to get $req my $req = $ENV{REQUEST_URI}; $r->content_type('text/html'); if (exists $redirects{ $req }) { $m->redirect($redirects{ $req }); } $m->clear_and_abort(404); </%init> ######################## If I don't do any more configuration with apache2, all links like http://example.com/?question always go directly to my homepage /index.mhtml no matter what query string I used after the '/?'. If I do the following configuration under Apache2. RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^$ RewriteRule ^/$ /nonexist.mhtml [L] ======== then "http://example.com/?question" will bring me to "/dhandler" but it displays plain text of dhandler instead of html even if I set $r->content_type. I guess this might becouse the 'redirection' occurs before the content generation phase thus the Mason handler does not get a chance to handle this. I have the following configuration in Apache: <LocationMatch "\.mhtml$|^/\?[^/]+$"> SetHandler perl-script PerlResponseHandler +MyApp::Mason </LocationMatch> <LocationMatch "(\.mas|autohandler|dhandler)$"> SetHandler perl-script PerlInitHandler Apache2::Const::NOT_FOUND </LocationMatch> Can someone shed some light to me with this problem? I know many websites are using this kind of redirection(mason home and perl design-pattern site), there must be some easier/good ways to handle this. I am using Apache/2.0.55, mod_perl/2.0.2, Perl/v5.8.7 and Mason/1.35.. Thank you very much for your time..
