That's no surprise that same couchapp can be build to work either with rewrites on or off.
I wonder, is there a way or a technique to find out on a client side whether rewrites are currently working, i.e. current url is rewritten?
Please share.
Within list and show functions you can access req.requested_path that should help you with that. As of CouchDB 1.1.1, this is not working in all situations, I guess it just delivers a meaningful value if you access your CouchApp via a vhost, but I have to check that.
With CouchDB 1.2 there's a change coming that could help you with that:
https://github.com/apache/couchdb/blob/master/CHANGES#L103
"The requested_path property keeps the pre-rewrite path even when no VHost configuration is matched."
Hope this helps!

is the first time I'm using IIS (Windows Server 2019) and I'm looking for a configuration to be able to redirect clients from http://mysiteExample.org/ to http://mysiteExample.org/embed.html?key=val. I considered that URL Rewrite Module could help me to achieve this (as is not necessary for the clients to see the new URL they'll be redirected to). I made the configuration as shown in this screenshot, where I set '^$' as a pattern to specify this should apply for cases where no URL string is provided.
Could somebody with more experience advise me on how to achieve what specified above?
Thanks in advance
I finally managed to make it work changing the action type from 'Rewrite' to 'Redirect'.
We have a FAQ page /faq (tab style) where every question should have its own 'ghost' url/page. So users could visit eg.
/faq/question-1
/faq/question-2
/faq/question-3
The problem is question-1, question-2, question-3 are not actual pages but just sections on /faq. For SEO, aesthetics and usability reasons we do not want to work with ?q= or #
I've searched and tried every .htaccess thread I came across but without result.
Is there a way we can show the page/faq when visiting /faq/question-1 and keep the url /faq/question-1 with mod_rewrite? (we cannot hardcode it because we do not know all future question slugs) So basically something that tells the browser: if the first url part is /faq/, just ignore everything that comes behind but keep the url.
Thanks
This is a trivial rewriting task and it is unclear why this should not work for you:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/?faq/.+ /faq [END]
Since you claim that you "tried every .htaccess thread you came across" and this clearly works the question is: why not in your setup? But since you did not tell us anything about your setup we cannot really offer more help...
These are some general hints though which you should go through:
Where did you implement the rules you tried? In the http server's host configuration or in a distributed configuration file?
If you are using a distributed configuration file (".htaccess") then how did you make sure such files are interpreted by your http server and how did you test that?
Did you check your http server's error log file for hints?
Did you make sure that you are not actually looking at cached responses? So did you really test with a fresh anonymous browser window using a "deep reload"?
Since the CMS you are using requires own rewriting rules, where did you add those rules you tried? Remember: the order is important!
I want to redirect all the users who enters www.siteA.com/folder1 to www.siteB.com/folder. But user should see www.siteA.com/folder1 in address bas even after redirection to www.siteB.com.
I do not know how to do it with .htaccess Can somebody please help me how to mask the url. I really need your help.
Thanks
You can "Force the substitution URL to be internally sent as a proxy request" via the P flag.
RewriteRule ^folder1(.*) http://www.siteB.com/folder$1 [P]
There are some other examples in the documentation of the RewriteRule.
If this does not work (e.g. no access to the server configuration and the proxy module is disabled) you are probably best of using a Proxy script like PHProxy.
On a second look I think PHProxy is not really what you need. Maybe give this one a try: http://code.google.com/p/php-proxy/ - The installation instructions look pretty simple.
You want to use proxying . On Apache, mod_proxy should do what you are looking for.
Bear in mind that your server will eat up twice the amount of bandwidth. Once to get the data from the source server and again to send it to the client.
I recently purchased the domain name simply.do. I want to use it as a URL shortening service, but I don't like have to do simply.do/something. Can I remove the slash or replace it with a difference symbol?
If this helps, I am using a server running Nginx and I will not switch to Apache.
Thanks!
I would also appreciate any feedback on the domain name. I was hoping to sell simply.do/insurance, simply.do/religion, etc. to various companies. Do you think there is a way I could sell these parts on an auction website? Thanks!
When you visit simply.do, that refers to simply.do/index.php (if you use php in background).
So, you can use it as query, for eg, simply.do?insurance will lead to some long url like ://a-long-domain-name/a-long-list-of-directories.
Use server script to get the value after ? mark so that if someone visite simply.do?insurance, it will be like simply.do/index.php?insurance. It works with all browsers.
You can obtain the value from the $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] OR $_GET[] array, check if the query string: 'insurance' is in your db or not. If yes, redirect the user to required site.
You need to know how the HTTP protocol works here, to better understand what you are doing. If you want to sell the URLs, you need a basic URI handler for /insurance, or /religion. You can also sell insurance.simply.do, If you want to, thru' DNSes and default VirtualHost handlers.
This answer is irrespective of the server used.
You cannot remove/replace the / right after simply.do since it delimits the host and the path in the URI.
Is there any way in IIS to map requests to a particular URL with no extension to a given application.
For example, in trying to port something from a Java servlet, you might have a URL like this...
http://[server]/MyApp/HomePage?some=parameter
Ideally I'd like to be able to map everything under MyApp to a particular application, but failing that, any suggestions about how to achieve the same effect would be really helpful.
You can set the IIS6 to handle all requests, but the key to handle files without extensions is to tell the IIS not to look for the file.
http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2007/03/04/tip-trick-integrating-asp-net-security-with-classic-asp-and-non-asp-net-urls.aspx
You can also create an ISAPI filter that re-writes urls. The user enters a url with no extension, but the filter will interpret the request so that it does. Note that in IIS it's real easy to screw this up, so you might want to find a pre-written one. I haven't used any myself so I can't recommend a specific product that's any different than what you'd find via google, especially as I don't know your specific use case. But at least now you know what to search for.
You can also rewrite your urls using ASP.Net:
