  Perhaps the most frequently asked rewrite question seen on #apache involves mapping arbitrary URIs to a handler script or proxy URL. There are several variations on this theme, detailed below.
  
- The technique of mapping all but a few URI patterns to a handler can be used to delegate the process of URI translation to a more capable programming environment than is provided by mod_rewrite. It is easier to parse e.g. ''/books/history/french_revolution'' with a scripting language than with a set of depth-limited patterns, for example.

  The rules shown here are designed to work in !VirtualHost context. For information on translating them for .htaccess context, see RewriteContext
