Table 4–9 assign-name Parameters

Parameter  

Description  

from

Wildcard pattern that specifies the path to be affected. 

name

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 assign-name 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. By default, ntrans-base is set.

This feature can improve performance for certain URLs by reducing the number of stats performed. 

nostat

(Optional) Prevents the server from performing a stat on a specified URL whenever possible. 

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, 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.
