Table 4–14 pfx2dir Parameters

Parameter  

Description  

from

URI prefix to convert. It should not have a trailing slash (/). 

dir

Local file system directory path that the prefix is converted to. It should not have a trailing slash (/). 

name

(Optional) Specifies an additional named object in obj.conf whose directives will be applied to this request.

find-pathinfo-forward

(Optional) Makes the server look for the PATHINFO forward in the path right after the ntrans-base instead of backward from the end of path as the server function find-pathinfo does by default.

The value you assign to this parameter is ignored. If you do not wish to use this parameter, leave it out. 

The find-pathinfo-forward parameter is ignored if the ntrans-base parameter is not set in rq->vars when the server function find-pathinfo is called. By default, ntrans-base is set.

This feature can improve performance for certain URLs by reducing the number of stats performed in the server function find-pathinfo.

On Windows, this feature can also be used to prevent the PATHINFO from the server URL normalization process (changing '\' to '/') when the PathCheck server function find-pathinfo is used. Some double-byte characters have hexadecimal values that may be parsed as URL separator characters such as \ or ~. Using the find-pathinfo-forward parameter can sometimes prevent incorrect parsing of URLs containing double-byte characters.

bucket

(Optional) Common to all obj.conf functions.
