[users@httpd] Filters in Apache?

I know that if I was doing this in java I would need a filter, but if my
sites under apache just includes pictures and html docs, with some cgi,
I am unsure if a filter is really what I need.

 

 

I was trying to figure out a way, where based on the URL path  could do
certain things.

 

If someone goes to:

 

http:/mysite.com/alpha -> This would maybe check the header information
for a certain variable (anything under the alpha directory (files or
folders))

http:/mysite.com/beta -> This would forward you to beta.mysite.com
(anything under the beta directory (files or folders))

http:/mysite.com/gamma -> This would maybe check the time of day and if
it is after 5pm forwards you to a static page that says it is after 5pm.

 

Is anything like this possible?

Thanks.

But when I said control/security I don't mean from a user perspective or
from the perspective of denying people from certain sites based on their
IP or anything like that.

But thanks anyway for the info.

Have you looked at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/howto/auth.html?
Sounds to me like that's what you're after.

mod_rewrite can handle the query string and request headers, but not
POST content.  The only module I know of that can deal with POST
content in that way is mod_security.
