Migration of Apache mod_rewrite rules to the default syntax
The Apache HTTP Server provides an engine known as mod_rewrite for rewriting HTTP request URLs. If you migrate the mod_rewrite rules from Apache to the Citrix ADC, you boost back-end server performance. In addition, because the Citrix ADC typically load balances multiple (sometimes thousands of) Web servers, after migrating the rules to the Citrix ADC you will have a single point of control for these rules.
Following are examples of mod_rewrite functions, and translations of these functions into Rewrite and Responder policies on the Citrix ADC.
Converting URL variations into canonical URLs
On some Web servers you can have multiple URLs for a resource. Although the canonical URLs should be used and distributed, other URLs can exist as shortcuts or internal URLs. You can make sure that users see the canonical URL regardless of the URL used to make an initial request.
In the following examples, the URL /~user is converted to /u/user.

Converting Host Name Variations to Canonical Host Names
You can enforce the use of a particular host name for reaching a site. For example, you can enforce the use of www.example.com instead of example.com.
Apache mod_rewrite solution for enforcing a particular host name for sites running on a port other than 80
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.example.com

Moving a document root
Usually the document root of a Web server is based on the URL “/”. However, the document root can be any directory. You can redirect traffic to the document root if it changes from the top-level “/” directory to another directory.
In the following examples, you change the document root from / to /e/www. The first two examples simply replace one string with another. The third example is more universal because, along with replacing the root directory, it preserves the rest of the URL (the path and query string), for example, redirecting /example/file.html to /e/www/example/file.html.

Moving home directories to a new web server
You may want to redirect requests that are sent to home directories on a Web server to a different Web server. For example, if a new Web server is replacing an old one over time, as you migrate home directories to the new location you need to redirect requests for the migrated home directories to the new Web server.
In the following examples, the host name for the new Web server is newserver.
Apache mod_rewrite solution for redirecting to another Web server
RewriteRule ^/(.+) http://newserver/$1 [R,L]

Working with structured home directories
Typically, a site with thousands of users has a structured home directory layout. For example, each home directory may reside under a subdirectory that is named using the first character of the user name. For example, the home directory for jsmith (/~jsmith/anypath) might be /home/j/smith/.www/anypath, and the home directory for rvalveti (/~rvalveti/anypath) might be /home/r/rvalveti/.www/anypath.
The following examples redirect requests to the home directory.

Redirecting invalid URLs to other web servers
If a URL is not valid, it should be redirected to another Web server. For example, you should redirect to another Web server if a file that is named in a URL does not exist on the server that is named in the URL.
On Apache, you can perform this check using mod_rewrite. On the Citrix ADC, an HTTP callout can check for a file on a server by running a script on the server. In the following Citrix ADC examples, a script named file_check.cgi processes the URL and uses this information to check for the presence of the target file on the server. The script returns TRUE or FALSE, and the Citrix ADC uses the value that the script returns to validate the policy.
In addition to performing the redirection, the Citrix ADC can add custom headers or, as in the second Citrix ADC example, it can add text in the response body.

RewriteCond %{TIME_HOUR}%{TIME_MIN} >0700

Redirecting to a new file name (Invisible to the User)
If you rename a Web page, you can continue to support the old URL for backward compatibility while preventing users from recognizing that the page was renamed.
In the first two of the following examples, the base directory is /~quux/. The third example accommodates any base directory and the presence of query strings in the URL.

Accommodating browser dependent content
To accommodate browser-specific limitations—at least for important top-level pages—it is sometimes necessary to set restrictions on the browser type and version. For example, you might want to set a maximum version for the latest Netscape variants, a minimum version for Lynx browsers, and an average feature version for all others.
The following examples act on the HTTP header “User-Agent”, such that if this header begins with “Mozilla/3”, the page MyPage.html is rewritten to MyPage.NS.html. If the browser is “Lynx” or “Mozilla” version 1 or 2, the URL becomes MyPage.20.html. All other browsers receive page MyPage.32.html.
Apache mod_rewrite solution for browser-specific settings
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Mozilla/3.*
RewriteRule ^MyPage\.html$ MyPage.NS.html [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Lynx/.* [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Mozilla/[12].*
RewriteRule ^MyPage\.html$ MyPage.20.html [L]
RewriteRule ^fMyPage\.html$ MyPage.32.html [L]

Blocking access by robots
You can block a robot from retrieving pages from a specific directory or a set of directories to ease up the traffic to and from these directories. You can restrict access based on the specific location or you can block requests based on information in User-Agent HTTP headers.
In the following examples, the Web location to be blocked is /~quux/foo/arc/, the IP addresses to be blocked are 123.45.67.8 and 123.45.67.9, and the robot’s name is NameOfBadRobot.

If you find people frequently going to your server to copy inline graphics for their own use (and generating unnecessary traffic), you may want to restrict the browser’s ability to send an HTTP Referer header.
In the following example, the graphics are located in Example.

Creating extensionless links
To prevent users from knowing application or script details on the server side, you can hide file extensions from users. To do this, you may want to support extensionless links. You can achieve this behavior by using rewrite rules to add an extension to all requests, or to selectively add extensions to requests.
The first two of the following examples show adding an extension to all request URLs. In the last example, one of two file extensions is added. Note that in the last example, the mod_rewrite module can easily find the file extension because this module resides on the Web server. In contrast, the Citrix ADC must invoke an HTTP callout to check the extension of the requested file on the Web server. Based on the callout response, the Citrix ADC adds the .html or .php extension to the request URL.
Note
In the second Citrix ADC example, an HTTP callout is used to query a script named file_check.cgi hosted on the server. This script checks whether the argument that is provided in the callout is a valid file name.

Redirecting a Working URI to a New Format
Suppose that you have a set of working URLs that resemble the following:
/index.php?id=nnnn
<!--NeedCopy-->
To change these URLs to /nnnn and make sure that search engines update their indexes to the new URI format, you need to do the following:
- Redirect the old URIs to the new ones so that search engines update their indexes.
- Rewrite the new URI back to the old one so that the index.php script runs correctly.
To accomplish this, you can insert marker code into the query string (making sure that the marker code is not seen by visitors), and then removing the marker code for the index.php script.
The following examples redirect from an old link to a new format only if a marker is not present in the query string. The link that uses the new format is re-written back to the old format, and a marker is added to the query string.
Apache mod_rewrite solution
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !marker
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} id=([-a-zA-Z0-9_+]+)
