Specifying the filer response to HTTP requests

About specifying the response

You can specify that the response a filer has to an HTTP request be dependent 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. You specify the response by adding the map, redirect, pass, or fail translation rule to the /etc/httpd.translations configuration file.

How the filer processes URL translation rules

The filer processes the rules defined in the /etc/httpd.translations file in the order they are listed and applies the rule if the URL matches the template. After the first successful match, the filer stops processing the remaining rules.
