Simple String-to-String Matching

For simple string matching and replacement, you can specify explicit URLs and then redirect each URL by mapping it directly to a target URL.

The following table shows some sample string-to-string matchings.

Source URL Target Location URL
/index.html /home.htm
/products/widget /items/knickknack
/index?page=widgets /items/widgets

String-to-string mappings are simple to understand and test. The rules evaluate quickly using simple string matchings and map lookups.

However, there is little flexibility regarding URL query parameters. They would need to match exactly. Extra URL parameters or parameters in a different order would cause a rule to not match.
