Overview of Rewriter

The Rewriter component of Secure Remote Access enables end users to browse the intranet by modifying Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) references on web pages so that they point to the Gateway. A URI defines a way to encapsulate a name in any registered name space, and labels it with the name space. The most common kinds of URIs are Uniform Resource Locators (URLs). Rewriter supports only HTTP or HTTPS and this support exists regardless of the capitalization of the protocol. Rewriter only supports backslashes when they are part of a relative URL.

Example 3–1 Rewriting URLs

http://abc.sesta.com\\index.html is rewritten.

These URLs are not rewritten: http:\\\\abc.sesta.com. http:/abc.com
