<h2><a name="introduction" id="introduction">Introduction</a></h2>
<p>The Apache module <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_rewrite.html">mod_rewrite</a></code> is a very powerful and
sophisticated module which provides a way to do URL manipulations. With
it, you can do nearly all types of URL rewriting that you may need. It
is, however, somewhat complex, and may be intimidating to the beginner.
There is also a tendency to treat rewrite rules as magic incantation,
using them without actually understanding what they do.</p>
<p>This document attempts to give sufficient background so that what
follows is understood, rather than just copied blindly.

<h2><a name="EnvVar" id="EnvVar">Environment Variables</a></h2>
<p>This module keeps track of two additional (non-standard)
CGI/SSI environment variables named <code>SCRIPT_URL</code>
and <code>SCRIPT_URI</code>. These contain the
<em>logical</em> Web-view to the current resource, while the
standard CGI/SSI variables <code>SCRIPT_NAME</code> and
<code>SCRIPT_FILENAME</code> contain the <em>physical</em>
System-view. </p>
<p>Notice: These variables hold the URI/URL <em>as they were
initially requested</em>, <em>i.e.</em>, <em>before</em> any
rewriting. This is important because the rewriting process is
primarily used to rewrite logical URLs to physical
pathnames.</p>
<div class="example"><h3>Example</h3><pre>
SCRIPT_NAME=/sw/lib/w3s/tree/global/u/rse/.www/index.html
SCRIPT_FILENAME=/u/rse/.www/index.html
