The following table describes parameters for the assign-name function.
Table 7–5 assign-name Parameters
Parameter |
Description |
---|---|
(Optional) Wildcard pattern that specifies the path to be affected. If you do not specify the from parameter, all paths are affected. |
|
Specifies an additional named object in obj.conf whose directives will be applied to this request. |
|
(Optional) Instructs the server to 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 assign-name does by default. The find-pathinfo-forward parameter is ignored if the ntrans-base parameter is not set in rq->vars. By default, ntrans-base is set. This feature can improve performance for certain URLs by reducing the number of statistics performed. |
|
(Optional) Prevents the server from performing a stat on a specified URL. The effect of nostat="virtual-path" in the NameTrans function assign-name is that the server assumes that a stat on the specified virtual-path will fail. Therefore, use nostat only when the path of the virtual-path does not exist on the system. For example, use nostat for NSAPI plug-in URLs to improve performance by avoiding unnecessary stats on those URLs. When the default PathCheck server functions are used, the server does not stat for the paths /ntrans-base/virtual-path and /ntrans-base/virtual-path/* if ntrans-base is set (the default condition). It does not stat for the URLs /virtual-path and /virtual-path/* if ntrans-base is not set. |

bucket |
(Optional) Common to all obj.conf functions. Adds a bucket to monitor performance. For more information, see The bucket Parameter. |
