There are endless combinations of predicates and handlers you can apply to your apps. Here's an assortment of examples to get you going. Many of these are contrived, but are just mean to show the range of syntax and functionality.
Rewrite a URL:
Stop processing rules for a given request:
For all GET requests, set a response header called type with a value of get
If the incoming path ends with .css it will rewrite the request to .xcss and set a response header called rewritten to true.
Redirect all jpg requests to the same file name but with the png extension. The ${1} exchange attribute is used to reference the first regex group.
Set a request header that you can access in your CFML app just like a normal HTTP header.
Match certain SES-style URLs and store the place holders (referenced as exchange attributes) into HTTP request headers.
In this example, hitting the server with /restart skips the first rule, the second rule rewrites the request and then restarts back at the first rule which fires the second time through.
Block access to a URL unless coming from a specific IP.
For more control over IP address matches, use the ip-access-control() handler.
Leading slash is NOT required. Both of these rules are the same:
It is not required to include .* at the end of a regex path unless you’ve set full-match=true
Perform a regex a case insensitive search like so:
When attribute values are not quoted, all leading and trailing whitespace will be trimmed. The following are all the same:
But this example is different. The leading and trailing spaces will be preserved in the path string.
Basic MVC rewrite:
Add a CORs header to every request
Rewrite requests to a sub folder based on the domain
Custom SES URL rewrite that turns 6 digit product code into a query string. (If this rule goes in your server.json, you'll need \\ in front of the dollar sign to escape it twice. Once for the system setting expansion and once for the JSON file.)
Reject requests using an unknown host header.
