I have just switched from using Apache to Lighttpd for a server I use to deliver dokuwiki driven help documentation. One of the things I had done with the old Apache installation was to use mirrored copy of the entire Wiki to deliver individual pages shorn of headers & side bars. This was done with the help of an Apache rewrite rule that appended do=export_xhtml to each incoming request.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /dw2/
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$
RewriteRule ^(doku\.php/[^/]+)/?$ $1?do=export_xhtml [L,NC,QSA,R,NE]
I am no export when it comes to Apache but I usually get by. However, with Lighttpd I am a real newbie and I am having a tough time understanding how I should use its mod_rewrite capabilties. Pretty much the only thing I have accomplished thus far is to stall the server altogether. Here is my best effort
url.rewrite-once = (
"^/dw2/([^\?]+)(\?(.*))?" => "/dw2/doku.php/$1?do=export_xhtml"
)
I suspect that once you get the hang of it this is not a terribly difficult rule to convert to Lighty speak. I'd be much obliged to anyone who might be able to help with the conversion.
After some trial and error... here is the answer for anyone running into this thread
url.rewrite-once = (
"^/dw2/doku.php/(.+)?" => "/dw2/doku.php/$1?do=export_xhtml"
)
I am not 100% sure that this is completely correct but it appears to deliver the desired result - appending do=export_xhtml to the supplied url.
