User-friendly URL (bug-fix)

In a previous topic (31/3) I posted the following:

In release 5.x I had a redirection/mapping document as follows:

URL → Redirection URL

Incoming URL path: /*

Redirection URL string: /XXX/YYY.nsf/findit?OpenAgent&*

This worked like a charme, that is an URL eg www.abc.com/fetch resulted in

www.abc.com/XXX/YYY.nsf/findit?OpenAgent&fetch

This turned out to be a bug in R6 that can’t handle redirections at the rootlevel, that is you can not use the whole string directly after the hostname. eg:

in www.lotus.com/doc1 you are unable to pick the ‘doc1’ just ‘oc1’ as the wanted catch with * is already claimed by the homeURL in the configuration document.

We have however built a workaround for this using a DSAPI that catches the URL before it reaches the Domino http-server and redirects anything on the first level that has not got a period inside.

We configure the DSAPI with a simple ini-file.
