31    <p><code class="module"><a href="/mod/mod_rewrite.html">mod_rewrite</a></code> provides a way to modify incoming
32    URL requests, dynamically, based on <a href="intro.html#regex">regular
33    expression</a> rules. This allows you to map arbitrary URLs onto
34    your internal URL structure in any way you like.</p>
35
36      <p>It supports an unlimited number of rules and an
37      unlimited number of attached rule conditions for each rule to
38      provide a really flexible and powerful URL manipulation
39      mechanism. The URL manipulations can depend on various tests:
40      server variables, environment variables, HTTP
41      headers, time stamps, external database lookups, and various other
42      external programs or handlers, can be used to achieve granular URL
43      matching.</p>
44
45      <p>Rewrite rules can operate on the full URLs, including the path-info
46      and query string portions, and may be used in per-server context
47      (<code>httpd.conf</code>), per-virtualhost context (<code class="directive"><a href="/mod/core.html#virtualhost">&lt;VirtualHost&gt;</a></code> blocks), or
48      per-directory context (<code>.htaccess</code> files and <code class="directive"><a href="/mod/core.html#directory">&lt;Directory&gt;</a></code> blocks). The
49      rewritten result can lead to further rules, internal
50      sub-processing, external request redirection, or proxy
51      passthrough, depending on what <a href="flags.html">flags</a> you
52      attach to the rules.</p>
53
54      <p>Since mod_rewrite is so powerful, it can indeed be rather
55      complex. This document supplements the <a href="/mod/mod_rewrite.html">reference documentation</a>, and
56      attempts to allay some of that complexity, and provide highly
57      annotated examples of common scenarios that you may handle with
58      mod_rewrite. But we also attempt to show you when you should not
59      use mod_rewrite, and use other standard Apache features instead,
60      thus avoiding this unnecessary complexity.</p>
