HTTP translations (/etc/httpd.translations)

This window allows you to view and edit the /etc/httpd.translations file. The filer reads the /etc/httpd.translations file to get URL translations for incoming HTTP requests. These translations control the filer's response to an HTTP request depending on the URL. For example, you can configure the filer to redirect a particular request to a specific directory, or to prevent access to a particular directory that is specified in the URL.

The window provides the following information for the in the network:

• Command: The type of URL translation rule-Map, Redirect, Pass, or Fail.
• Template: The template string, which specifies a component of a URL.
• Result: The result string, which determines the result of the HTTP request, depending on the selected translation rule.
• Comment: The comments associated with the translations.

The HTTP Translations window also provides buttons that allow you to add URL translations to, or modify and delete URL translations in the /etc/httpd.translations file. The window provides the following buttons:

• Reload. Click this button to reload the existing /etc/httpd.translations file from the filer.
