definition:



"This module uses a rule-based rewriting engine (based on a
regular-expression parser) to rewrite requested URLs on the fly. It
supports an unlimited number of rules and an unlimited number of
attached rule conditions for each rule to provide a really flexible and
powerful URL manipulation mechanism. The URL manipulations can depend
on various tests, for instance server variables, environment variables,
HTTP headers, time stamps and even external database lookups in various
formats can be used to achieve a really granular URL matching."
