URL - URL Rewrite

About

url rewrite is the rewrite of the URL based on condition (generally via a regular-expression parser) to reroute requested URLs on the fly.

The URL manipulations/matching can depend on various tests of:

• server variables,
• environment variables,
• HTTP headers,
• time stamps,
• and even external database lookups.
