httpd features ?

[22decembre]

Hello

So I am trying to figure out how to switch my website to the new openbsd httpd.

Honnestly, this is great ! I have a sane and minimalist base.

But I am missing some good thing from nginx and wonder if I can get them.

I like nginx redirections ! Maybe they can be set even better...

Someone knows how to make them ?

location ~* ^/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/(.+)/$ {
	try_files $uri $uri/ /$1/$2/$3/;
	}

Good would be to redirect (in case of folders) to the parent folders. I would love this !

What about the error page also ? In nginx with have this :

error_page 404 /404.html;
location  /404.html {
  internal;
}

Have you bothered to read man pages for httpd.conf and check /etc/examples/httpd.conf

predrag@oko$ uname -a
OpenBSD oko.bagdala2.net 5.7 GENERIC.MP#881 amd64

block [return code [uri]]
Close the connection and send an error page. If the optional
return code is not specified, httpd(8) denies access with a `403
Forbidden' response. The optional uri argument can be used with
return codes in the 3xx range to send a `Location:' header for
redirection to a specified URI.

The url may contain predefined macros that will be expanded at
runtime:

I am not quite following your first example. What are you trying to accomplish with those regular expressions?

yes, I have checked the man page. This is why I don't ask you about php : I have already succeed with php running !

These regular expressions are from nginx config'.

What I want to do do is to go through the url in that way :

http://www.server.tld/year/month/day/article/index.html

If the article name is wrong, then go to the day folder, if the day folder is wrong go to the month, then to the year...

Apparently, it's somewhere on the todo list…
