Corrections and Updates to 4.0 Documentation
3-8 Oracle iPlanet Web Proxy Server Release Notes
3.2.13 regexp-redirect Function of the NameTrans Directive
The section "NameTrans" in Oracle iPlanet Web Proxy Server 4.0.14 Configuration File
Reference does not include information about the
regexp-redirect function.
Information about this function follows.
The
regexp-redirect function is applicable in NameTrans -class directives.
The
regexp-redirect function enables you to change URLs and send the updated
URL to the client. When a client accesses your server with an old path, the server treats
the request as a request for the new URL.
The following table describes parameters for the
regexp-redirect function.
3.2.14 status-code and status-desc Parameters of the send-error SAF
Oracle iPlanet Web Proxy Server 4.0.15 supports two new parameters for the
send-error SAF of the Service and Error directives. The following table provides
information about these new parameters.
3.2.15 New Directives in the magnus.conf File
Table 3–4 lists directives added to the magnus.conf file. Note that these directives are
not documented in "Syntax and Use of the
magnus.conf File" in Oracle iPlanet Web
Proxy Server 4.0.14 Configuration File Reference.
