Provide a simple mechanism for mapping host and urlpath header strings
in proxied request and response well-known headers. This *is not*
intended as a one-size-fits-all, infinitely extensible, regex rewriting
engine. Instead, the proxy.header directive aims to provide built-in
functionality in mod_proxy for a few common use cases by performing
simple host matching or urlpath prefix matching, and using the
mapping of the first match. More complex use cases could possibly be
handled by a custom lighttpd module (which does not currently exist).
Note: the contents of the HTTP request-line and HTTP headers may or
may not be in normalized canonical forms, which may or may not influence
the simple matching performed. Admins should take care to provide safe
defaults (fail closed) if mapping is expected to occur and blindly
passing non-mapped requests is undesirable.
proxy.header = (
#"map-host-request" => (
#"-" => "...",#replace provided given Host request authority
#"..." => "-",#preserve existing authority (no further matching)
#"..." => "", #preserve existing authority (no further matching)
# #(equivalent to "xxx" => "xxx")
#"xxx" => "yyy", #map one string ("xxx") to another ("yyy")
#),
#"map-host-response" => (
#"-" => "...",#replace authority used in backend request
#"..." => "-",#replace with original authority
#"..." => "", #preserve existing authority (no further matching)
# #(equivalent to "xxx" => "xxx")
#"xxx" => "yyy", #map one string ("xxx") to another ("yyy")
#),
#"map-urlpath" => (
#"/xxx" => "/yyy",#map one urlpath prefix to another
#"/xxx/" => "/", #map one urlpath prefix to another
#"/xxx" => "", #map one urlpath prefix to another
#"/key" => "/value",
# Note: request headers have matching "key" prefix replaced with
# "value", and response headers have matching "value" prefix
# replaced with "key", with a pre-test of the "value" from the
# first-matched "key" in request headers (if there was a match)
#),
#"https-remap" => "enable",
# For https requests from client, map https:// to http://
# when map-host-request matches URI in request, and map http://
# to https:// when map-host-response matches URI in response.
# (mod_proxy currently sends all backend requests as http)
)

a light httpd

:abstract:
lighttpd a secure, fast, compliant and very flexible web-server
which has been optimized for high-performance environments. It has a very
low memory footprint compared to other webservers and takes care of cpu-load.
Its advanced feature-set (FastCGI, CGI, Auth, Output-Compression,
URL-Rewriting and many more) make lighttpd the perfect webserver-software
for every server that is suffering load problems.
:documentation:
http://wiki.lighttpd.net/
the naming
----------
lighttpd is a __httpd__ which is
- fast as __light__ning and
- __light__ when it comes to memory consumption and system requirements
Features
--------
Network
```````
- IPv4, IPv6
Protocols
`````````
- HTTP/1.0 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1945.txt)
- HTTP/1.1 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt)
- HTTPS (provided by openssl)
- CGI/1.1 (http://CGI-Spec.Golux.Com/)
- FastCGI (http://www.fastcgi.com/devkit/doc/fcgi-spec.html)
Advanced Features
`````````````````
- load-balanced FastCGI
(one webserver distributes requests to multiple PHP-servers via FastCGI)
- custom error pages (for Response-Code 400-599)
- virtual hosts
- directory listings
- streaming CGI and FastCGI
- URL-Rewriting
- HTTP-Redirection
- output-compression with transparent caching
FastCGI-Support
```````````````
- parses the Response-header and completes the HTTP-header accordingly
- Keep-Alive handling based on Content-Length header
PHP-Support
```````````
- same speed as or faster than apache + mod_php4
- handles various PHP bugs in the FastCGI SAPI
- includes a utility to spawn FastCGI processes (necessary for PHP 4.3.x)
Security features
`````````````````
- chroot(), set UID, set GID
- protecting docroot
HTTP/1.1 features
`````````````````
- Ranges (start-end, start-, -end, multiple ranges)
- HTTP/1.0 Keep-Alive + HTTP/1.1 persistent Connections
- methods: GET, HEAD, POST
- Last-Modified + If-Modified handling
- sends Content-Length if possible
- sends Transfer-Encoding: chunk, if Content-Length is not possible
- sends Content-Type
- on-the-fly output compression (deflate, gzip)
- authentication: basic and digest
(http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2617.txt)
HTTP/1.1 compliance
```````````````````
- Sends 206 for Range Requests
- Sends 304 for If-Modified Requests
- Sends 400 for missing Host on HTTP/1.1 requests
- Sends 400 for broken Request-Line
- Sends 411 for missing Content-Length on POST requests
- Sends 416 for "out-of-range" on Range: Header
- Sends 501 for request-method != (GET|POST|HEAD)
- Sends 505 for protocol != HTTP/1.0 or HTTP/1.1
- Sends Date: on every requests
Intended Audience
-----------------
- Ad-Server Front-Ends ("Banner-Schleuder")

missing for HTTP/1.1 compliance
-------------------------------
- parsing chunked POST request

Starting lighttpd
-----------------
As daemon in the background: ::
$ lighttpd -f <configfile>
or without detaching from the console: ::
$ lighttpd -D -f <configfile>
