POW 0.0.9 preview available
POW 0.0.9 preview is available. It is there if you want to see any next-gen features. Rewrite rules were added. Rewrite rules allow you to rewrite urls on the fly. Most server admins know this through ‘.htaccess’. Here is the new functionality in action.
// htdocs/system/startup.sjs
<?sjs
pow_server.REWRITE_RULES =
[
[ "dog/?(.*)$", "/cat.sjs?q=$1" ],
[ /^\/Jason\/?(.*)$/i, "/cat.sjs?q=$1" ]
];
?>
This results in dog.html pointing to /cat.sjs?q=.html. This cleans up the problem of linking many fake directories to a single script.
