[users@httpd] mod_rewrite simple questions

[Scott Taylor <sc...@bigfoot.com>]

Two simple mod_rewrite questions:


1.  I would like to refer to all of my pages without the ending and with 
a trailing slash.  for instance, instead of domain.com/somepage.html it 
should be domain.com/somepage/

There may be a variety of different file types in a directory, so it 
would need a RewriteCond statement to find if there was a coresponding 
file type...

I was trying to do this with something like this

# if the page /somepage/ then check if /somepage.php exists
RewriteCond ^/.* $1\.php
# now rewrite /somepage/ as /somepage.php
RewriteRule ^/.*/ $1\.php

but yet I am a beginner, so I could be completely wrong!


2.  I would also like to

rewrite:
    http://username:password@domain.com/protected/archive/(.*)

to:
    http://domain.com/protected/archive/$1

what is the easiest way to do this?


Best Regards,

Scott Taylor

Why don't you just create those directories and drop an "index.html" or
"index.php" in them? That will save you a lot of headaches. It would make
your setup less obscure.

Not possible. Apache will never get a request like that. The
username:password part will be stripped by the client and in some cases be
inserted in an Authentication header.

If the user types "http://foo:bar@domain.com/protected/archive/xyz" in his
address bar, the client will send a request for "/protected/archive/xyz" to
domain.com. If all you want is redirect or rewrite that to "/archive/xyz",
it is trivial, and is left as an excersice for you :)
