... I've got an acquiring folder and wan't to redirect addresses in the folder to index_html. The redirection rule I use is [A-Za-z0-9 ] => index_html. This works ok. I've got all http://server/folder/xyz addresses redirected to http://server/folder/index_html file.
Now, if I wanted to have ... deeper (?) redirection, I don't quite know what to do. What I mean is I wan't the redirected url's to 'act like' folders so they can have pages under them as well. E.g. in addition to http://server/folder/xyz being redirected to http://server/folder/index_html, I also wan't http://server/folder/xyz/zyx redirected to http://server/folder/index_html. I tried just changing the regexp to [A-Za-z0-9 /] but that doesn't seem to work, probably because of some internal things having to do with how zope parses urls or so.
What facility are you using to implement the redirect?
an Apache rewrite rule?
a Zope SiteAccess AccessRule?
???
Apache rewrite rules (maybe rewrite maps) are the most effective way to implement redirections...
I'm using a zope product called AcquiringFolder, but I don't really know much about that, I found nothing about that on the web. Sorry about my ignorance, but I'm working on a site originally written by someone else, + I'm a zope newbie and all that. Apache rules are a last resort in this case for manageability reasons. (Actually I think I'm not going to use that in any case, I'll just modify the structure of the user interface a bit, if I can't get this working) Juho
