doc/todo/Autogenerate_a_.htaccess_file_with_redirects_from_foo.html_to_corresponding_index.html.mdwn



Now that ikiwiki supports using page/index.html rather than page.html, how about some mechanism to automatically generate a .htaccess file with "Redirect permanent" lines for each such page?

I was thinking of using an apache RewriteRule for this, haven't written
one yet though. --[[Joey]]


Here's a RewriteRule that I'm using for http://kitenet.net/, which
has an wiki at the top level that's using index.htmls, and some
other stuff that shouldn't be rewritten.

RewriteCond $1 !^/~
RewriteCond $1 !^/doc/
RewriteCond $1 !^/cgi-bin/
RewriteRule (.+).html $1/ [R]
#RewriteRule /~family/(.+).html /~family/$1/ [R]
