<h3>Summary</h3>
<p>The directives contained in this module allow for manipulation
and control of URLs as requests arrive at the server. The
<code class="directive"><a href="#alias">Alias</a></code> and <code class="directive"><a href="#scriptalias">ScriptAlias</a></code> directives are used to
map between URLs and filesystem paths. This allows for content
which is not directly under the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#documentroot">DocumentRoot</a></code> served as part of the web
document tree. The <code class="directive"><a href="#scriptalias">ScriptAlias</a></code> directive has the
additional effect of marking the target directory as containing
only CGI scripts.</p>
<p>The <code class="directive"><a href="#redirect">Redirect</a></code>
directives are used to instruct clients to make a new request with
a different URL. They are often used when a resource has moved to
a new location.</p>

<p>The <code class="directive">Alias</code> directive allows documents to
be stored in the local filesystem other than under the
<code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#documentroot">DocumentRoot</a></code>. URLs with a
(%-decoded) path beginning with <var>url-path</var> will be mapped
to local files beginning with <var>directory-path</var>.</p>
<div class="example"><h3>Example:</h3><p><code>
Alias /image /ftp/pub/image
</code></p></div>
<p>A request for http://myserver/image/foo.gif would cause the
server to return the file /ftp/pub/image/foo.gif.</p>
<p>Note that if you include a trailing / on the
<var>url-path</var> then the server will require a trailing / in
order to expand the alias. That is, if you use <code>Alias
/icons/ /usr/local/apache/icons/</code> then the url
<code>/icons</code> will not be aliased.</p>
<p>Note that you may need to specify additional <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#directory">&lt;Directory&gt;</a></code> sections which
cover the <em>destination</em> of aliases. Aliasing occurs before
<code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#directory">&lt;Directory&gt;</a></code> sections
are checked, so only the destination of aliases are affected.
(Note however <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#location">&lt;Location&gt;</a></code>
sections are run through once before aliases are performed, so
they will apply.)</p>

<p>This directive is equivalent to <code class="directive"><a href="#alias">Alias</a></code>, but makes use of standard
regular expressions, instead of simple prefix matching. The
supplied regular expression is matched against the URL-path, and
if it matches, the server will substitute any parenthesized
matches into the given string and use it as a filename. For
example, to activate the <code>/icons</code> directory, one might
use:</p>
<div class="example"><p><code>

<p>The Redirect directive maps an old URL into a new one. The
new URL is returned to the client which attempts to fetch it
again with the new address. <var>URL-path</var> a (%-decoded)
path; any requests for documents beginning with this path will
be returned a redirect error to a new (%-encoded) URL beginning
with <var>URL</var>.</p>
<div class="example"><h3>Example:</h3><p><code>
Redirect /service http://foo2.bar.com/service
</code></p></div>
<p>If the client requests http://myserver/service/foo.txt, it
will be told to access http://foo2.bar.com/service/foo.txt
instead.</p>
<div class="note"><h3>Note</h3> <p>Redirect directives take precedence over
Alias and ScriptAlias directives, irrespective of their ordering in
the configuration file. Also, <var>URL-path</var> must be an absolute
path, not a relative path, even when used with .htaccess files or
inside of <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#directory">&lt;Directory&gt;</a></code>
sections.</p></div>
<p>If no <var>status</var> argument is given, the redirect will
be "temporary" (HTTP status 302). This indicates to the client
that the resource has moved temporarily. The <var>status</var>
argument can be used to return other HTTP status codes:</p>
<dl>
<dt>permanent</dt>
<dd>Returns a permanent redirect status (301) indicating that
the resource has moved permanently.</dd>
<dt>temp</dt>
<dd>Returns a temporary redirect status (302). This is the
default.</dd>
<dt>seeother</dt>
<dd>Returns a "See Other" status (303) indicating that the
resource has been replaced.</dd>
<dt>gone</dt>
<dd>Returns a "Gone" status (410) indicating that the
resource has been permanently removed. When this status is
used the <var>URL</var> argument should be omitted.</dd>
</dl>
<p>Other status codes can be returned by giving the numeric
status code as the value of <var>status</var>. If the status is
between 300 and 399, the <var>URL</var> argument must be present,
otherwise it must be omitted. Note that the status must be
known to the Apache code (see the function
<code>send_error_response</code> in http_protocol.c).</p>

Redirect permanent /one http://example.com/two<br />
Redirect 303 /three http://example.com/other
