The following example is an Url-to-file translation module which converts a virtual URL to a physical pathname. This module is much more flexible than the translation routine built into the AOLserver and allows you to map multiple URL prefixes to different physical directories. This has been an often requested feature and the alias module will be the default translation routine in a future release.
This example can be found in the examples/c/alias directory.
/*
* This example module implements a URL->file aliasing extension to the
* AOLserver using the Ns_SetUrlToFileProc function from the C API. Loading
* this module enables you to define mappings such as
* /oldplace/foo.html=newplace/foo.html. This module maintains compatibility
* with the existing (default) AOLserver UrlToFile function by supporting
* UserMapDir and PageRoot configuration variables, both of which are
* subsumed by the expressive capabilities of this module.
*
* You can load and configure this module by editing your nsd.ini file as
* follows:
* 1) In your [ns\server\server-name\modules] section, add the
* following:
* alias=alias.dll ;or alias.so on Unix platforms
* 2) Add a section for the alias module that contains your aliases. E.g.:
* [ns\server\server-name\module\alias]
* /oldplace/foo.html=newplace/foo.html
* ...
*
* Note that you can accomplish the above with the setup interface by using the
* "List AOLserver Configuration Sections" available from the "Setup Home"
* page in expert mode, or you can edit the nsd.ini file with your favorite
* text editor.
*
* When defining maps with key/value pairs, keep the following in mind:
* 1) The key (`/oldplace/foo.html' above) is in "URI space" and the value
* (`newplace/foo.html' above) is in "file space".
* 2) By default, the file space value (`newplace/foo.html' above) is assumed
* to be relative to the page root defined for the "server-name"
* virtual server. In "file space" (right side of =), you can also
* specify an absolute pathname such as /home/user/html/index.html.
* So, be careful not to use a leading `/'
* on the right side of the `=' unless you mean it.
* 3) In "file space", `~username' expands to the user's default directory, and
* `~' looks for a user name in the second element of the URI, substituting
* the user's home directory appropriately.
* 4) In "URI space", a leading `/~' mapped to a leading `~' in file space supports
* the common ~user usage in URI space.
*
* Now, let's clear things up with an example. Note that the comments following each
* mapping show a sample URI input followed by sample output generated by this module.
* [ns\server\server-name\module\alias]
* /user1=~godzilla ;/user1 -> /home/godzilla
* /user2=~/pages ;/user2/bambi -> /home/bambi/pages
* ;OR /user2/bambi/foo -> /home/bambi/pages/foo
* /user3=~ ;/user3/bambi -> /home/bambi
* ;OR /user3/bambi/html -> /home/bambi/html
* /~=~/pages ;/~foot -> /home/foot/pages
* ;OR /~foot/section -> /home/foot/pages/section
*
* Note that the last entry obviates the need for the `UserMapDir' configuration
* parameter. To provide compatibility with the default Ns_UrlToFile function, we'll
* insert a mapping to reflect the UserMapDir if it is set in the nsd.ini file.
* If UserMapDir is defined and there is a mapping of the form: /~=~/otherplace,
* the mapping takes precedence.
*
* Another mapping, more pervasive than the previous examples, is the following:
* /=/home/newroot
* This overrides the PageRoot parameter defined in the server-specific section
* of nsd.ini. As you would expect, it also defines the implicit root for all other
* relative "file space" (right side of `=') values that appear in other aliases.
