Rewrite Rules

Here are just a few of those rewrite rules for you for major rewrite engines. You can spice them up as needed.

.htaccess

RewriteEngine on
#if this call related to adminstrators or non rewrite folders, you can add more here.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(.*(CFIDE|cfide|CFFormGateway|jrunscripts|railo-context|lucee|mapping-tag|fckeditor)).*$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [NC,L]

#Images, css, javascript and docs, add your own extensions if needed.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.(bmp|gif|jpe?g|png|css|js|txt|xls|ico|swf)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [NC,L]

#The ColdBox index.cfm/{path_info} rules.
RewriteRule ^$ index.cfm [QSA,NS]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.cfm/%{REQUEST_URI} [QSA,L,NS]

Recent versions of Apache don't send the CGI.PATH_INFO variable to your cfml engine when using ProxyPass and ProxyPassMatch without the PT ( Pass Through ) directive.

On current versions of Coldbox, you can also use a pathInfoProvider function in your router.cfc or use the updated PassThrough configuration with a leading slash on the index.cfm below

Updated syntax for Apache:

#The ColdBox index.cfm/{path_info} rules.
RewriteRule ^$ index.cfm [QSA,NS]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.cfm/%{REQUEST_URI} [PT,QSA,L,NS]

The following solution will also work if you are using recent versions of Apache and Coldbox:

#The ColdBox index.cfm/{path_info} rules.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^$ /index.cfm?redirect_path=/ [QSA,NS]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.cfm?redirect_path=%{REQUEST_URI} [PT,QSA,L,NS]

Now you can create a pathInfo provider function in your router.cfc which brings back your path info to the router:

router.cfc

function PathInfoProvider( event ){
  var p = cgi.path_info;
  if (len(p)) {
    return p;
  } else if (url.keyExists("redirect_path")) {
    return url.redirect_path;
  } else {
    return "";
  }
}

################### LOCATION: ROOT #####################

     # First attempt to serve real files or directory, else it sends it to the @rewrite location for processing
     try_files $uri $uri/ @rewrite;
}

################### @REWRITE: COLDBOX SES RULES #####################
# Rewrite for ColdBox (only needed if you want SES urls with this framework)
# If you don't use SES urls you could do something like this
# location ~ \.(cfm|cfml|cfc)(.*)$ {
location @rewrite {
  rewrite ^/(.*)? /index.cfm/$request_uri last;
  rewrite ^ /index.cfm last;
}

################### CFM/CFC LUCEE HANDLER #####################
# The above locations will just redirect or try to serve cfml files
# We need this to tell NGinx that if we receive the following requests to pass them to Lucee
location ~ \.(cfm|cfml|cfc|jsp)(.*)$ {
# Include our connector
include lucee.conf;
}

IIS7 web.config

Please note that URL rewriting is handled by an optional module in IIS. More info here: https://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/url-rewrite
