Do you want to send a redirect to the browser (HTTP code 3xx)?
I use apache's inner redirect rather than the 3xx external redirection.
If yes then it
can be done in an access handler as well. If you simply want to send the
document in /pathA or /pathB then I think you'd prefer something *before* the
core map_to_storage handler, that means a PerlTransHandler or a
PerlMapToStorageHandler since otherwise you'd need to fill out the finfo
field by yourself, see
http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/api/Apache2/RequestRec.html#C_finfo_
thanks for the info.
no, mod_rewrite can't rewrite requests based on Accept-Encoding header.
yes, something like this:
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Encoding} gzip [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Encoding} deflate
RewriteRule ^(.*) /pathA/$1 [PT,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*) /pathB/$1 [PT,L]
or as an external redirect:
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Encoding} gzip [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Encoding} deflate
RewriteRule ^(.*) /pathA/$1 [R,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*) /pathB/$1 [R,L]
Why do you think this wouldn't work?
I'll try it. thanks so much torsten.
Re: need to write a fitler based on request header
Hello Torsten,
I have tested your rewrite syntax like below:
Location /unzip
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Encoding} gzip [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Accept-Encoding} deflate
RewriteRule ^/unzip/(.*) /gziped/$1 [PT,L]
/Location
Sorry it can't work.
Also I checked apache's official document for mod_rewrite:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html
It says the rewriting conditions on http headers include only:
HTTP headers:
--
HTTP_USER_AGENT
HTTP_REFERER
HTTP_COOKIE
HTTP_FORWARDED
HTTP_HOST
HTTP_PROXY_CONNECTION
HTTP_ACCEPT
So as I've said, you can't rewrite the request based on
Accept-Encoding header.Is it?
Thanks.

Well, Apache 2.2 can, see
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewritecond
Other things you should be aware of:
...
4. %{HTTP:header}, where header can be any HTTP MIME-header name, can always
be used to obtain the value of a header sent in the HTTP request.
Example: %{HTTP:Proxy-Connection} is the value of the HTTP header
``Proxy-Connection:''.
...
I wasn't aware that this is a feature only of 2.2+.

need to write a fitler based on request header
Hello members, I need to write an input filter based on the request headers. If request includes a Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate header, I should redirect the request to /pathA. If request doesn't include that header, I should redirect the request to /pathB. (pathA and pathB are web document dirs on web server.) How to do it? thanks.
