Parameters

The following table describes the parameters for the assign-name function.

Table 5–41 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 are applied to this request.

find-pathinfo-forward

(Optional) Makes the server look for the PATHINFO forward in the path 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 want to use this parameter, do not include it. 

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.
