FYI, using the Mod_Rewrite Variables Cheatsheet makes this example, and all advanced .htaccess code easier to understand. This demo lets you set a cookie with 1 of 3 values, then you just request the pdf file with a normal link click and get 1 of 3 different responses. This is accomplished with a nice bit of .htaccess code.

As I explain the htaccess code that achieves this, keep in mind this is merely one simple application for this code. It's much more advanced than your basic htaccess trick, notice how this htaccess acts like a php script, very unusual.. I really wanted to share this trick after I created it for one of my clients because this is the tip of the iceberg. Another use would be to display an alternate style sheet depending on a users theme preference. The coolest thing is that it uses multiple advanced .htaccess ideas. This code uses mod_headers to set the Content-Disposition header for forcing a download and uses mod_rewrite to: Send different Content-Type headers, Check the value of a cookie, Set environment variables for use later by mod_headers header directive

What's Going On

There are 3 different ways for a server to send a pdf file in response to a request for one. This causes 3 different ways to open/view the pdf file in the clients browser.

1. The browser display's a "Save File As" dialog, allowing you to save the file or open.
2. The browser opens the pdf file "Inline", opening the pdf file in the browser like a web page.
3. The browser "Downloads" the pdf file automatically as an "Attachment" and then causes an external pdf reader program like adobe reader to open the file.

Some people prefer to have the option of saving the file to view later, some prefer opening it with an external program, and some just like the pdf file to load right in the browser... The point is that by using .htaccess, we can let them choose any of the 3 methods and save their preference for all further pdf files requested from our site by that user.

How It Works

When you click on one of the 3 demo buttons above, "Inline", "Save As", or "Download", a cookie named askapache_pdf is saved in your browser using the javascript below, with the value being set to which button you clicked. Then when you request the pdf file the .htaccess code below uses mod_rewrite to read the value of the askapache_pdf cookie, and depending on which was your preference it will send alternate HTTP Headers that control how your browser handles the file.

Unique HTTP Headers Returned

When it comes down to it, the following information is the 3 modes. Notice each one is different, because these headers are the only thing controlling how your browser handles the file.

Save As Mode (askapache_pdf=s)

Content-Disposition: attachment
Content-Type: application/pdf

Inline Mode (askapache_pdf=i)

Content-Type: application/pdf

Download Mode (askapache_pdf=a)

Content-Type: application/octet-stream

Htaccess Demo File

For the demo I created the folder /storage/pdf/ and this is the .htaccess file at /storage/pdf/.htaccess

The default Content-Type for .pdf files. This will make .pdf files default Content-Type header have the value 'application/pdf' - but the default can be overridden by using RewriteRule with the [T='different/type']

AddType application/pdf .pdf

Turn on the rewrite engine if its already on you dont need this

RewriteEngine On

Skip RewriteRules if not .pdf request, like autoindexing. The next [2] RewriteRule directives are specific for .pdf files so if the filename requested does not end in .pdf then the [S=2] instructs the next 2 RewriteRule directives to be completely skipped.

RewriteRule !.*\.pdf$ - [S=2]

The first RewriteCond checks to see if the askapache_pdf cookie is NOT set. The second RewriteCond checks to see if the askapche_pdf cookie has the value of s, which is the value corresponding to someone clicking the "Save As" button.

The [NC,OR] flag means that if the cookie askapache_pdf does not exist, OR (next cond) if the askapache_pdf cookie does exist and is set to 's' then process the RewriteRule. If neither cond is true the rewriterule is skipped.

If one of the RewriteCond is true, then the RewriteRule is processed. The RewriteRule applies to any/all requests (.*) but doesn't rewrite anything (-) This RewriteRule sets an Apache environment variable ASKAPACHE_PDFS to have the value of 1 if either rewritecond is true. The variable can be checked by any directives following the rewriterule in the whole htaccess file. The ASKAPACHE_PDFS ends in S because if this variable exists then it means the users preference is 'Save As'

Notice that if the user requested the pdf file without selecting a preference i.e. no cookie exists, then the ASKAPACHE_PDFS variable is still set. This just lets us pick the default preference for them, in this example the default is 'Save As'

RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !^.*askapache_pdf.*$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} ^.*askapache_pdf=s.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [E=ASKAPACHE_PDFS:1]

The RewriteCond checks the askapache_pdf cookie for the value 'a' which 'a' represents 'Download'

If the cookies value is 'a' then the RewriteRule overrides the default Content-Type from 'application/pdf' set with AddType earlier, to 'application/octet-stream', which is a special content-type that tells the browser that the file cannot be loaded by the browser 'Inline', but must be saved which will be opened by an external viewer depending on browser configuration and plugins.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} ^.*askapache_pdf=a.*$
RewriteRule .* - [T=application/octet-stream]

This is superfly. If the cookie/users-preference was 'Save As' (s) then the RewriteRule above the last one set the environment variable ASKAPACHE_PDFS to have the value 1. The Header directive here is ONLY processed in that variable ASKAPACHE_PDFS exists. That is what the end 'env=ASKAPACHE_PDFS' does, it is the condition that must be met or the Header directive is skipped. If the ASKAPACHE_PDFS environment variable set by RewriteRule does exist then the header directive adds the header 'Content-Disposition: attachment' to the normal Response Headers. The 'Content-Disposition: attachment' header instructs your browser to present you with the 'Save As' dialog box allowing you to choose whether you want to save or open.

Header set Content-Disposition "attachment" env=ASKAPACHE_PDFS

Javascript used by Demo

The best place for javascript is quirksmode, here is a definitive article on setting, reading, parsing, etc.. COOKIES.

Note, I now prefer using jQuery over my AAJS javascript library. Also, the whole using cookies aspect is just to highlight some advanced htaccess, you can accomplish this much easier without javascript or cookies.

if(!gi('pdfr'))return;
var pdfr=gi('pdfr');
var cval=getCookie('askapache_pdf');
 
if(cval=='i'){pdfr.innerHTML='Currently set to "Inline".';}
else if(cval=='a'){pdfr.innerHTML='Currently set to "Download" mode.';}
else if(cval=='s'){pdfr.innerHTML='Currently set to "Save As" mode.';}
 
addMyEvent(gi('pdfi'),"mousedown",function(){
  setCookie("askapache_pdf", "i", "", "/", "www.askapache.com"); gi('pdfr').innerHTML = 'Changed mode to "Inline".'; return false; });
addMyEvent(gi('pdfa'),"mousedown",function(){
  setCookie("askapache_pdf", "a", "", "/", "www.askapache.com"); gi('pdfr').innerHTML = 'Changed mode to "Download".'; return false; });
addMyEvent(gi('pdfs'),"mousedown",function(){
  setCookie("askapache_pdf", "s", "", "/", "www.askapache.com"); gi('pdfr').innerHTML = 'Changed mode to "Save As".'; return false; });

Alternative Method - No Cookies + PHP

This is what I came up with first for my client, and then while programming the php I noticed.. Hey! I think I can do the same thing using .htaccess, which would save me on cpu/memory/potential security/etc.. but this works great too. Though you will need to hack the code to get it working probably..

Note that the .htaccess rewrite code I used here used FILENAME-i.pdf or FILENAME-s.pdf to pass the preference to the pdf-dl.php script, it also worked for FILENAME.pdf?i=i

pdf-dl.php

<?php
if (
  !isset($_GET['file'])
  || ($f=$_GET['file'])===false
  || ($fp=@fopen($f,"rb"))===false
  || ($fi=pathinfo($f))===false
  || ($fi['fsize']=filesize($f))===false
  || strtolower($fi["extension"])!='pdf'
) die('Failed');
 
ob_start();
header('Accept-Ranges: bytes');
header("Content-Length: {$fi['fsize']}");
header('Content-Type: application/pdf');
if(!isset($_GET['i'])) header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"{$fi['basename']}\"");
 
$sent = 0;
while ( !feof($fp) && $sent < $fi['fsize'] && ($buf = fread($fp, 8192)) != '' ){
  echo $buf;
  $sent += strlen($buf);
  flush();  ob_flush();
}
fclose($fp);
exit;
?>

Alternate Method .htaccess

Deny direct request to pdf-dl.php file

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^.*pdf-dl\.php.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [F]

Handle PDF files named anything-i.pdf as inline

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ([^/]*)-i\.pdf$  /cgi-bin/pdf-dl.php?i=i&file=%{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/storage/pdf/$1.pdf [L,NC,QSA,S=1]

Handle PDF files without -i.pdf as attachments

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ([^/]*)\.pdf$  /cgi-bin/pdf-dl.php?file=%{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/storage/pdf/$1.pdf [L,NC,QSA]

3 Ways to Serve PDF Files using Htaccess Cookies, Headers, Rewrites originally appeared on AskApache.com

Due to overwhelming popular demand (you know who you are) I will share how I have a simple windows batch file that takes a screenshot of my desktop every 10 minutes, 24/7. This will be a real treat for me because I will be done here is only a couple minutes! (So probably an even bigger treat for many of you!). Before we get started (and finished). let me say that I have used this without any problems for over 2 years now. Don't believe anything can work that long on Windows? Ok let me get proof. Got it..

Schedule Command

Originally I had this completely being handled in the BG without windows, but this is a much better way to do it. All that you need is to download the extermely powerful program free nircmd. Then go create a task in windows Scheduled Tasks wizard that saves a screenshot every 10 minutes or so, saving the file with the date in it. I set it to run on logon, and then most importantly, to only run while logged on to avoid hours of blank screens

C:\CRYPT\BIN\nircmd.exe loop 10 300000 savescreenshot "Z:\SS\~$currdate.MM-yyyy$\~$currdate.MM-dd-yy$-~$currtime.HHmm$.png"

Removing Dupes

Believe it or not, the screenshots are all setup now. And as you can see from this screenshot, they are very high -resolution. And even more useful to me is that nircmd takes a screenshot of ALL of your screen real-estate. Which as the screenshot above shows, I have 2 huge Dells side-byside, so this is just all good.

A Windows Batch Fiile

Yay I get to show off my mad windows batch-file skills... ya right. This batch file is actually prettty spectacular, it uses the imagemagick binaries to compare the digital image of the files next to it. After a little trial and error, it works perfect for me. A couple of tweaks fixed the problem of my taskbar clock updating clock skeing the reesults.

OptiPng

I almost forgot that this script also uses the optipng binary to reduce the size of all the images in the directory.

Contig

And it also uses the contig binary to selectively defragment the directo trees.

Tunrkey

Once you get the duplicate script setup for your screens, you can schedule that to run once a week or so.

Ok now this is the only reason I really agreeed to putting an article like this one up, it just so happens that I completed this script yesterday and it now deletes duplicates.

Lightning Strikes Twice!

LOL..

3rd Dimension Broken with Bash!

So 3D... it'll hurt you eyes! lol.. Man I am cracking up here. Ha but seriously those really do look 3D for terminal though.. I am actually really impressed. Sweet. Here is the little function I wrote to output that grey marble.

Just a word to the wise, start learning and going over some of these concepts, especially the code used in functions, I will be back in a followup that details actually using this stu.

This function is one of my favorites because it is so fast and useful. Like when designing a 256color prompt.

aa_256 ()
{
    local o x=`tput op` y=`printf %$((${COLUMNS}-6))s`;
    for i in {0..256};
    do
        o=00$i;
        echo -e ${o:${#o}-3:3} `tputm "setaf $i" "setab $i"`${y// /=}$x;
    done
}

Ya this is actually not very helpful or useful, but there you have it.

tputm ()
{
    local a;
    for a in "$@";
    do
        echo -en "${a}\n";
    done | tput -S
}

Some people call this function the grey bringer of death. Not really.

a256 ()
{
    ( x=`tput op` y=`printf %$((${COLUMNS}-6))slocal `;
    for i in {242..232} 232 232;
    do
        echo -en "`tput setaf $i;tput setab $i`${y}${x}`tput op`";
    done )
}

Helpful Ncurses Programs

ALWAYS check out my functions!

This function will print out the terminal, show it's colors, etc.. I have some really nice ones in this article that I use for tmux, screen, and that sort of thing.

c ()
{
    tput clear;
    pm "$TERM: [colors:`tput colors`/`tput pairs`]";
    RC=`tput op` L1=$(L '=' $(( ${COLUMNS} - 25 )));
    for i in `seq ${1:-0} ${2:-16}`;
    do
        o="  $i";
        echo -e " ${o:${#o}-3:3} `tput setaf $i;tput setab $i`${L1}${RC}";
    done
}

VT100 keypad Diagram

VT100 LINK

Here's a diagram of the VT100 keypad keys with their bindings. The top line is the name of the key (some DEC keyboards have the keys labelled somewhat differently, like GOLD instead of PF1, but this is the most "official" name). The second line is the escape sequence it generates in Application Keypad mode (where "$" means the ESC character). The third line contains two items, first the mapping of the key in terminfo, and then in termcap.

A better adaptation to modern keyboards such as the PC's, which have a dozen function keys and the keypad 2,4,6,8 keys are labeled with arrows keys, is to use the 5-key arrangement to model the arrow keys as suggested in the terminfo guidelines:

Basic Characteristics

This section documents the capabilities that describe the basic and nature of the terminal, and also those that are relevant to the output of graphic characters.

7bit vs. 8bit

These recommendations are optional. IBCS2 allows the leading escape to # be either the 7-bit \E[ or 8-bit \0233 introducer, in accordance with # the ANSI X.364/ISO 6429/ECMA-48 standard.

1.6.1 Describing the Encoding

For example, the cm string for a standard ANSI terminal is written as \E[%i%d;%dH. (\E stands for .) cm by convention always requires two parameters, the vertical and horizontal goal positions, so this string specifies the encoding of two parameters. Here %i increments the two values supplied, and each %d encodes one of the values in decimal. If the cursor position values 20,58 are encoded with this string, the result is \E[21;59H.

First, here are the %-sequences that generate output. Except for %%, each of them encodes one parameter and advances the pointer to the following parameter.

• %% Output a single %. This is the only way to represent a literal % in a terminal command with parameters. %% does not use up a parameter.
• %d As in printf, output the next parameter in decimal.
• %2 Like %02d in printf: output the next parameter in decimal, and always use at least two digits.
• %3 Like %03d in printf: output the next parameter in decimal, and always use at least three digits. Note that %4 and so on are _not_ defined.
• %. Output the next parameter as a single character whose ASCII code is the parameter value. Like %c in printf.
• %+CHAR Add the next parameter to the character CHAR, and output the resulting character. For example, %+ represents 0 as a space, 1 as !, etc.

The following %-sequences specify alteration of the parameters (their values, or their order) rather than encoding a parameter for output. They generate no output; they are used only for their side effects on the parameters. Also, they do not advance the "next parameter" pointer except as explicitly stated. Only %i, %r and %> are defined in standard Unix termcap. The others are GNU extensions.

• %i Increment the next two parameters. This is used for terminals that expect cursor positions in origin 1. For example, %i%d,%d would output two parameters with 1 for 0, 2 for 1, etc.
• %r Interchange the next two parameters. This is used for terminals whose cursor positioning command expects the horizontal position first.
• %s Skip the next parameter. Do not output anything.
• %b Back up one parameter. The last parameter used will become once again the next parameter to be output, and the next output command will use it. Using %b more than once, you can back up any number of parameters, and you can refer to each parameter any number of times.
• %>C1C2 Conditionally increment the next parameter. Here C1 and C2 are characters which stand for their ASCII codes as numbers. If the next parameter is greater than the ASCII code of C1, the ASCII code of C2 is added to it.
• %a OP TYPE POS Perform arithmetic on the next parameter, do not use it up, and do not output anything. Here OP specifies the arithmetic operation, while TYPE and POS together specify the other operand.

Spaces are used above to separate the operands for clarity; the spaces don't appear in the data base, where this sequence is exactly five characters long. The character OP says what kind of arithmetic operation to perform. It can be any of these characters:

• = - assign a value to the next parameter, ignoring its old value. The new value comes from the other operand.
• + - add the other operand to the next parameter.
• - - subtract the other operand from the next parameter.
• * - multiply the next parameter by the other operand.
• / - divide the next parameter by the other operand.

The "other operand" may be another parameter's value or a constant; the character TYPE says which. It can be:

• p - Use another parameter. The character POS says which parameter to use. Subtract 64 from its ASCII code to get the position of the desired parameter relative to this one. Thus, the character A as POS means the parameter after the next one; the character ? means the parameter before the next one.
• c - Use a constant value. The character POS specifies the value of the constant. The 0200 bit is cleared out, so that 0200 can be used to represent zero.

The following %-sequences are special purpose hacks to compensate for the weird designs of obscure terminals. They modify the next parameter or the next two parameters but do not generate output and do not use up any parameters. %m is a GNU extension; the others are defined in standard Unix termcap.

• %n - Exclusive-or the next parameter with 0140, and likewise the parameter after next.
• %m - Complement all the bits of the next parameter and the parameter after next.
• %B - Encode the next parameter in BCD. It alters the value of the parameter by adding six times the quotient of the parameter by ten. Here is a C statement that shows how the new value is computed: PARM = (PARM / 10) * 16 + PARM % 10;
• %D - Transform the next parameter as needed by Delta Data terminals. This involves subtracting twice the remainder of the parameter by 16. PARM -= 2 * (PARM % 16);

Terminal Type Name Conventions

Here is a list of standard suffixes and their conventional meanings:

• -w - Short for "wide". This is a mode that gives the terminal more columns than usual. This is normally a user option.
• -am - "Automatic margins". This is an alternate description for use when the terminal's margin-wrap switch is on; it contains the am flag. The implication is that normally the switch is off and the usual description for the terminal says that the switch is off.
• -nam - "No automatic margins". The opposite of -am, this names an alternative description which lacks the am flag. This implies that the terminal is normally operated with the margin-wrap switch turned on, and the normal description of the terminal says so.
• -na - "No arrows". This terminal description initializes the terminal to keep its arrow keys in local mode. This is a user option.
• -rv - "Reverse video". This terminal description causes text output for normal video to appear as reverse, and text output for reverse video to come out as normal. Often this description differs from the usual one by interchanging the two strings which turn reverse video on and off.

This is a user option; you can choose either the "reverse video" variant terminal type or the normal terminal type, and termcap will obey.

• -s - "Status". Says to enable use of a status line which ordinary output does not touch (*note Status Line::).

Some terminals have a special line that is used only as a status line. For these terminals, there is no need for an -s variant; the status line commands should be defined by default. On other terminals, enabling a status line means removing one screen line from ordinary use and reducing the effective screen height. For these terminals, the user can choose the -s variant type to request use of a status line.

• -NLINES - Says to operate with NLINES lines on the screen, for terminals such as the Ambassador which provide this as an option. Normally this is a user option; by choosing the terminal type, you control how many lines termcap will use.
• -NPAGESp - Says that the terminal has NPAGES pages worth of screen memory, for terminals where this is a hardware option.
• -unk - Says that description is not for direct use, but only for reference in tc capabilities. Such a description is a kind of subroutine, because it describes the common characteristics of several variant descriptions that would use other suffixes in place of -unk.

MS-DOS ANSI.SYS

Here is a description of the color and attribute controls supported in the ANSI.SYS driver under MS-DOS. Most console drivers and ANSI terminal emulators for Intel boxes obey these. They are a proper subset of the ECMA-48 escapes.

Bright black becomes gray, bright brown becomes yellow. These coincide with the prescriptions of the ISO 6429/ECMA-48 standard. * If the 5 attribute is on and you set a background color (40-47) it is supposed to enable bright background.

0        all attributes off
1        foreground bright
4        underscore on
5        blink on/background bright (not reliable with brown)
7        reverse-video
8        set blank (non-display)
10       set primary font
11       set first alternate font (on PCs, display ROM characters 1-31)
12       set second alternate font (on PCs, display IBM high-half chars)
3n       set foreground color       / 0=black, 1=red,     2=green, 3=brown,
4n       set background color       \ 4=blue,  5=magenta, 6=cyan,  7=white

Special characters

The special characters' default values vary from system to system. They are set with the syntax name value, where the names are listed below and the value can be given either literally, in hat notation (^C), or as an integer which may start with 0x to indicate hexadecimal, 0 to indicate octal, or any other digit to indicate decimal.

For GNU stty, giving a value of ^- or undef disables that special character. (This is incompatible with Ultrix stty, which uses a value of u to disable a special character. GNU stty treats a value u like any other, namely to set that special character to .)

Special settings

• min N - Set the minimum number of characters that will satisfy a read until the time value has expired, when -icanon is set.
• time N - Set the number of tenths of a second before reads time out if the minimum number of characters have not been read, when -icanon is set.
• ispeed N - Set the input speed to N.
• ospeed N - Set the output speed to N.
• rows N - Tell the tty kernel driver that the terminal has N rows. Non-POSIX.
• cols N, columns N - Tell the kernel that the terminal has N columns. Non-POSIX.
• size - Print the number of rows and columns that the kernel thinks the terminal has. (Systems that don't support rows and columns in the kernel typically use the environment variables LINES and COLUMNS instead; however, GNU stty does not know anything about them.) Non-POSIX.
• line N - Use line discipline N. Non-POSIX.
• speed - Print the terminal speed.
• N - Set the input and output speeds to N. N can be one of: 0 50 75 110 134 134.5 150 200 300 600 1200 1800 2400 4800 9600 19200 38400 exta extb. exta is the same as 19200; extb is the same as 38400. 0 hangs up the line if -clocal is set.

Terminal Escape Code Zen originally appeared on AskApache.com

Here is even more information from the Ultimate Htaccess Part I. For now this is very rough and you will want to come back later to read it.

Merging Notes

The order of merging is:

1. <Directory> (except regular expressions) and .htaccess done simultaneously (with .htaccess, if allowed, overriding <Directory>)
2. <DirectoryMatch> (and <Directory ~>)
3. <Files> and <FilesMatch> done simultaneously
4. <Location> and <LocationMatch> done simultaneously

Below is an artificial example to show the order of merging. Assuming they all apply to the request, the directives in this example will be applied in the order:

A > B > C > D > E

<Location />
E
</Location>
<Files askapache.txt>
D
</Files>
<VirtualHost *>
<Directory /a/b>
B
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<DirectoryMatch "^.*b$">
C
</DirectoryMatch>
<Directory /a/b>
A
</Directory>

Technical Look at .htaccess

Source: Apache API notes

Per-directory configuration structures

Let's look out how all of this plays out in mod_mime.c, which defines the file typing handler which emulates the NCSA server's behavior of determining file types from suffixes. What we'll be looking at, here, is the code which implements the AddType and AddEncoding commands. These commands can appear in .htaccess files, so they must be handled in the module's private per-directory data, which in fact, consists of two separate tables for MIME types and encoding information, and is declared as follows:

table *forced_types;      /* Additional AddTyped stuff */
table *encoding_types;    /* Added with AddEncoding... */
mime_dir_config;

When the server is reading a configuration file, or section, which includes one of the MIME module's commands, it needs to create a mime_dir_config structure, so those commands have something to act on. It does this by invoking the function it finds in the module's `create per-dir config slot', with two arguments: the name of the directory to which this configuration information applies (or NULL for srm.conf), and a pointer to a resource pool in which the allocation should happen.

(If we are reading a .htaccess file, that resource pool is the per-request resource pool for the request; otherwise it is a resource pool which is used for configuration data, and cleared on restarts. Either way, it is important for the structure being created to vanish when the pool is cleared, by registering a cleanup on the pool if necessary).

For the MIME module, the per-dir config creation function just ap_pallocs the structure above, and a creates a couple of tables to fill it. That looks like this:

void *create_mime_dir_config (pool *p, char *dummy)
mime_dir_config *new = (mime_dir_config *) ap_palloc (p, sizeof(mime_dir_config));
 
new->forced_types = ap_make_table (p, 4);
new->encoding_types = ap_make_table (p, 4);

Now, suppose we've just read in a .htaccess file. We already have the per-directory configuration structure for the next directory up in the hierarchy. If the .htaccess file we just read in didn't have any AddType or AddEncoding commands, its per-directory config structure for the MIME module is still valid, and we can just use it. Otherwise, we need to merge the two structures somehow.

To do that, the server invokes the module's per-directory config merge function, if one is present. That function takes three arguments: the two structures being merged, and a resource pool in which to allocate the result. For the MIME module, all that needs to be done is overlay the tables from the new per-directory config structure with those from the parent:

void *merge_mime_dir_configs (pool *p, void *parent_dirv, void *subdirv)
mime_dir_config *parent_dir = (mime_dir_config *)parent_dirv;
mime_dir_config *subdir = (mime_dir_config *)subdirv;
mime_dir_config *new =  (mime_dir_config *)ap_palloc (p, sizeof(mime_dir_config));
new->forced_types = ap_overlay_tables (p, subdir->forced_types, parent_dir->forced_types);
new->encoding_types = ap_overlay_tables (p, subdir->encoding_types, parent_dir->encoding_types);

As a note --- if there is no per-directory merge function present, the server will just use the subdirectory's configuration info, and ignore the parent's. For some modules, that works just fine (e.g., for the includes module, whose per-directory configuration information consists solely of the state of the XBITHACK), and for those modules, you can just not declare one, and leave the corresponding structure slot in the module itself NULL.

Command handling

Now that we have these structures, we need to be able to figure out how to fill them. That involves processing the actual AddType and AddEncoding commands. To find commands, the server looks in the module's command table. That table contains information on how many arguments the commands take, and in what formats, where it is permitted, and so forth. That information is sufficient to allow the server to invoke most command-handling functions with pre-parsed arguments. Without further ado, let's look at the AddType command handler, which looks like this (the AddEncoding command looks basically the same, and won't be shown here):

char *add_type(cmd_parms *cmd, mime_dir_config *m, char *ct, char *ext)
if (*ext == '.') ++ext;
ap_table_set (m->forced_types, ext, ct);

This command handler is unusually simple. As you can see, it takes four arguments, two of which are pre-parsed arguments, the third being the per-directory configuration structure for the module in question, and the fourth being a pointer to a cmd_parms structure. That structure contains a bunch of arguments which are frequently of use to some, but not all, commands, including a resource pool (from which memory can be allocated, and to which cleanups should be tied), and the (virtual) server being configured, from which the module's per-server configuration data can be obtained if required.

Another way in which this particular command handler is unusually simple is that there are no error conditions which it can encounter. If there were, it could return an error message instead of NULL; this causes an error to be printed out on the server's stderr, followed by a quick exit, if it is in the main config files; for a .htaccess file, the syntax error is logged in the server error log (along with an indication of where it came from), and the request is bounced with a server error response (HTTP error status, code 500).

The MIME module's command table has entries for these commands, which look like this:

command_rec mime_cmds[] =
{ "AddType", add_type, NULL, OR_FILEINFO, TAKE2, "a mime type followed by a file extension" },
{ "AddEncoding", add_encoding, NULL, OR_FILEINFO, TAKE2, "an encoding (e.g., gzip), followed by a file extension" },

The entries in these tables are:

• The name of the command
• The function which handles it a (void *) pointer, which is passed in the cmd_parms structure to the command handler --- this is useful in case many similar commands are handled by the same function.
• A bit mask indicating where the command may appear. There are mask bits corresponding to each AllowOverride option, and an additional mask bit, RSRC_CONF, indicating that the command may appear in the server's own config files, but not in any .htaccess file.
• A flag indicating how many arguments the command handler wants pre-parsed, and how they should be passed in. TAKE2 indicates two pre-parsed arguments. Other options are TAKE1, which indicates one pre-parsed argument, FLAG, which indicates that the argument should be On or Off, and is passed in as a boolean flag, RAW_ARGS, which causes the server to give the command the raw, unparsed arguments (everything but the command name itself). There is also ITERATE, which means that the handler looks the same as TAKE1, but that if multiple arguments are present, it should be called multiple times, and finally ITERATE2, which indicates that the command handler looks like a TAKE2, but if more arguments are present, then it should be called multiple times, holding the first argument constant.
• Finally, we have a string which describes the arguments that should be present. If the arguments in the actual config file are not as required, this string will be used to help give a more specific error message. (You can safely leave this NULL).

Finally, having set this all up, we have to use it. This is ultimately done in the module's handlers, specifically for its file-typing handler, which looks more or less like this; note that the per-directory configuration structure is extracted from the request_rec's per-directory configuration vector by using the ap_get_module_config function.

Side notes --- per-server configuration, virtual servers, etc.

The basic ideas behind per-server module configuration are basically the same as those for per-directory configuration; there is a creation function and a merge function, the latter being invoked where a virtual server has partially overridden the base server configuration, and a combined structure must be computed. (As with per-directory configuration, the default if no merge function is specified, and a module is configured in some virtual server, is that the base configuration is simply ignored).

The only substantial difference is that when a command needs to configure the per-server private module data, it needs to go to the cmd_parms data to get at it. Here's an example, from the alias module, which also indicates how a syntax error can be returned (note that the per-directory configuration argument to the command handler is declared as a dummy, since the module doesn't actually have per-directory config data):

We've figured out what mod_rewrite variables look like so we can create rewriterules and condition patterns based on the actual value. This cheatsheet is where we'll lay them all out for quick reference. This cheatsheet changed my life, way more than 301 redirect htaccess.

This article is meant to prepare us for the advanced mod_rewrite examples that are soon to be published. The upcoming article is going to be examples using mod_rewrite to achieve some crazy stuff... Here the focus is on identifying mod_rewrite variables and defining the limits of the module by checking the mod_rewrite source code.

For a broader mod_rewrite cheat sheet, check this printable cheat sheet.

RewriteRule Flags

C

Using the [Chain], or [C] flag, allows you to indicate that several rules should be chained together as a single logical transation. This is usually used when a transformation is sufficiently complicated to warrant breaking into several smaller steps.

CO

cookie|CO=Name:Value:Domain[:Lifetime[:Path]]

This sets a cookie on the client's browser. The cookie's name is specified by NAME and the value is VAL. The domain field is the domain of the cookie, such as '.apache.org',the optional lifetime is the lifetime of the cookie in minutes, and the optional path is the path of the cookie.

E

'env|E=VAR:VAL' (set environment variable)

RewriteRule (root|cmd)\.exe - [E=worm:nimda]

F

'forbidden|F' (force URL to be forbidden)

G

'gone|G' (force URL to be gone)

H

'handler|H=Content-handler' (force Content handler)

L

'last|L' (last rule)

N

'next|N' (next round)

NC

'nocase|NC' (no case)

NE

'noescape|NE' (no URI escaping of output)

NS

'nosubreq|NS' (not for internal sub-requests)

P

'proxy|P' (force proxy)

PT

'passthrough|PT' (pass through to next handler)

QSA

'qsappend|QSA' (query string append)

R

'redirect|R  [=code]' (force redirect)

S

'skip|S=num' (skip next rule(s))

This flag forces the rewriting engine to skip the next num rules in sequence, if the current rule matches. Use this to make pseudo if-then-else constructs: The last rule of the then-clause becomes skip=N, where N is the number of rules in the else-clause. (This is not the same as the 'chain|C' flag!)

T

'type|T=MIME-type' (force MIME type)

Force the MIME-type of the target file to be MIME-type. This can be used to set up the content-type based on some conditions. For example, the following snippet allows .php files to be displayed by mod_php if they are called with the .phps extension:

Rules and Conditions Processing Order

1. The Pattern of the RewriteRule (^/.*$) is checked first.
2. If the pattern matches, then the RewriteCond's are checked.
3. If the RewriteConditions also match, the RewriteRule is applied.

URL Rewriting Module

This module uses a rule-based rewriting engine (based on a regular-expression parser) to rewrite requested URLs on the fly.

It supports an unlimited number of additional rule conditions (which can operate on a lot of variables, even on HTTP headers) for granular matching and even external database lookups (either via plain text tables, DBM hash files or even external processes) for advanced URL substitution.

It operates on the full URLs (including the PATH_INFO part) both in per-server context (httpd.conf) and per-dir context (.htaccess) and even can generate QUERY_STRING parts on result. The rewriting result finally can lead to internal subprocessing, external request redirection or even to internal proxy throughput.

This module was originally written in April 1996 and gifted exclusively to the The Apache Software Foundation in July 1997 by

Ralf S. Engelschall rse [at] engenschall.com

Don't have much time or just don't care? No problem, this is a simple copy and paste... here's one to start (all 1 line, just cut and paste right into the shell, once you've made sure its safe).

Or for Extreme Power Prompt

Updated! 5/25/2010, This is what I use at the moment.. It's the coolest code I've ever seen to do this. I rewrote the above (and below) bash prompts to this format because it is much more robust, and believe it or not its way faster for your machine. Yes the code below is correct, it looks a little weird to export vars from within an exported var statement.. but this is correct. If you just learn this one bit of code, you will gain a lot of shell kung fu, at least I have! Enjoy!

256 Color Prompt Command

NOTE: I have been preparing a 256color terminal article for some time now, as I have tweaked, hacked, read, and experimented with more than I would ever like to admit. So stay tuned, there isn't any tutorial, book, or online howto remotely close to as good as what I'm close to posting...

If you have a 256-color enabled terminal try this..

    export PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -en "\033[m\033[38;5;2m"$(( `sed -n "s/MemFree:[\t ]\+\([0-9]\+\) kB/\1/p" /proc/meminfo`/1024))"\033[38;5;22m/"$((`sed -n "s/MemTotal:[\t ]\+\([0-9]\+\) kB/\1/Ip" /proc/meminfo`/1024 ))MB"\t\033[m\033[38;5;55m$(< /proc/loadavg)\033[m"'
    export PS1='\[\e[m\n\e[1;30m\][$$:$PPID \j:\!\[\e[1;30m\]]\[\e[0;36m\] \T \d \[\e[1;30m\][\[\e[1;34m\]\u@\H\[\e[1;30m\]:\[\e[0;37m\]${SSH_TTY} \[\e[0;32m\]+${SHLVL}\[\e[1;30m\]] \[\e[1;37m\]\w\[\e[0;37m\] \n($SHLVL:\!)\$ '

Which double-quoted is:

declare -x PROMPT_COMMAND="echo -en \"\\033[m\\033[38;5;2m\"\$(( \`sed -n \"s/MemFree:[\\t ]\\+\\([0-9]\\+\\) kB/\\1/p\" /proc/meminfo\`/1024))\"\\033[38;5;22m/\"\$((\`sed -n \"s/MemTotal:[\\t ]\\+\\([0-9]\\+\\) kB/\\1/Ip\" /proc/meminfo\`/1024 ))MB\"\\t\\033[m\\033[38;5;55m\$(< /proc/loadavg)\\033[m\""
declare -x PS1="\\[\\e[m\\n\\e[1;30m\\][\$\$:\$PPID \\j:\\!\\[\\e[1;30m\\]]\\[\\e[0;36m\\] \\T \\d \\[\\e[1;30m\\][\\[\\e[1;34m\\]\\u@\\H\\[\\e[1;30m\\]:\\[\\e[0;37m\\]\${SSH_TTY} \\[\\e[0;32m\\]+\${SHLVL}\\[\\e[1;30m\\]] \\[\\e[1;37m\\]\\w\\[\\e[0;37m\\] \\n(\$SHLVL:\\!)\\\$ "

For Commandlinefu.com users: Here ya go! toprc

That looks great, and is practicallly totally free in terms of how much cpu/work it makes the shell do for each command. So for slow terminals, or text-terminals like I use, this is great. Other than PS1, there is 1 other variable.. It's called PROMPT_COMMAND and is execed right in front of the PS1. I show 2 ways to utilize this, the goal being to show there is no right way.. fast is fast and money is money. I use a function called aa_pc I threw together that shows me in color how much memory is on my system.. very cool.

PROMPT = ?

Here's a screenshot of the code in my vim + screen multiplexed bash 4 environment.. It's placed all the way at the bottom of the file and is the last thing executed by the client processing the script. Also, while it's great to look so good, this is all 100% for efficiency since I use one shell or another every day.

Custom Power Prompt - currently mine

Here's the code I'm using today, that produced this screen-shot -- I am always changing stuff so it's a little more tough to figure out.

  function aa_pc()
  {
        local M=$( free -olm|sed "/Mem/!d; s/Mem:[^0-9]*\([0-9]*\)[^0-9]*\([0-9]*\)[^0-9]*\([0-9]*\).*/ \

  }

  aa_random_under(){ echo -en $(( $RANDOM % ${1:-$RANDOM} + 1 )); }

I've used many shells over the years and have learned many tweaks and tricks for a powerful prompt. It may look deceptively simple. One cool thing this prompt does is display the command line (filtered) in the putty/konsole/xterm window, so if you have several windows minimized you can easily find the one you are looking for.

There is a lot of good info about the BASH prompt around the net, but it can be complicated for a new user, and as an advanced user you will notice most of the info is very outdated and not very optimized for speed. To get this articles recommended prompt working is devastatingly simple, just export the PROMPT_COMMAND and PS1 variables that are shown below. Most "power prompts" that utilize things like PROMPT_COMMAND do so very haphazardly or very extravagantly.

I've been called a lot of things but not extravagant, and because I use this prompt on many different servers, platforms, and systems I made sure to not make things complicated. To test them just copy and paste the code below into your shell which will export PROMPT_COMMAND and PS1 variables and work right away. So test it out, and if you like it add it to your .bashrc or other startup file (please do a $ man bash).

Bash Power Prompt

From setting the window title to show the last run command (filtered), saving your history and keeping multi-session history intact, resetting the color/cursor/highlighting of errant color-emitting commands, this prompt does more than meets the eye extremely fast.

Don't have much time? Don't care? You may copy and paste these 2 lines into your shell and that's all there is to it!

export PROMPT_COMMAND='export H1="`history 1|sed -e "s/^[\ 0-9]*//; s/[\d0\d31\d34\d39\d96\d127]*//g; s/\(.\{1,50\}\).*$/\1/g"`";history -a;echo -e "sgr0\ncnorm\nrmso"|tput -S'
export PS1='\n\e[1;30m[\j:\!\e[1;30m]\e[0;36m \T \d \e[1;30m[\e[1;34m\u@\H\e[1;30m:\e[0;37m`tty 2>/dev/null` \e[0;32m+${SHLVL}\e[1;30m] \e[1;37m\w\e[0;37m\[\033]0;[ ${H1}... ] \w - \u@\H +$SHLVL @`tty 2>/dev/null` - [ `uptime` ]\007\]\n\[\]\$ '

PROMPT_COMMAND

This holds commands to be run prior to displaying the prompt. Let's break it down.

First this takes the last command executed and filters it using sed to remove the initial history command number, and also to remove any quotes (single or double) and/or backticks. Also, it only saves the first 50 chars, which are then exported as the value of H1, which because it is exported is now globally accessible to the rest of the shell. This is important because we use this variable in PS1 to print the last run command as the title of our putty window (or konsole).

export H1=`history 1 | sed -e 's/^[\ 0-9]*//; s/[\d0\d31\d34\d39\d96\d127]*//g; s/\(.\{1,50\}\).*$/\1/g'`

The next command simply appends your last command to the history file. Usually this is ~/.bash_profile, or whatever $HISTFILE is. This makes sure you never lose history in case of a shell crash or ssh connection terminated.

history -a

Finally there is this golden nugget of shell kung-fu. This outputs 3 terminal escape sequences according to the terminal in use and its capabilities.. so very robust, should work on any shell newer than 1984. By echoing the following 3 term names separated by a newline \n and using tput -S it will output the terminal sequences for all 3. sgr0 resets the colors, cnorm resets the cursor, and rmso resets the background color.

You can view the escape sequences generated by tput with strace, cat -t, etc.. For instance on my shell (xterm-256color via portaputty) the below command generates: \33(B\33[m\33[?12l\33[?25h\33[27m. This is helpful because if you aren't coding for several terminals you can hard code that in your echo's instead of using tput, saving some overhead.

echo -e 'sgr0\ncnorm\nrmso' | tput -S
# For my term this is the same as if I just did
# echo -e "\33(B\33[m\33[?12l\33[?25h\33[27m"

PS1 Detailed

PS1 is the variable that is expanded as your prompt. So if you did a $ unset PS1 then you can still run commands and everything, but your screen will be blank which is confusing to say the least.

This PS1 shows which SHLVL level the shell is in, which is how many levels deep of shells you are currently at. If you run $ bash -l from a bash shell it will create a new instance of bash as a child of the calling bash, so the SHLVL (shell level) gets incremented by 1. I usually avoid creating subshells by instead executing a new bash with exec which instead of creating a new bash as a child of the current bash, it replaces the current bash process with the new one: $ exec bash -l.

export PS1='\n\e[1;30m[\j:\!\e[1;30m]\e[0;36m \T \d \e[1;30m[\e[1;34m\u@\H\e[1;30m:\e[0;37m`tty 2>/dev/null` \e[0;32m+${SHLVL}\e[1;30m] \e[1;37m\w\e[0;37m\[\033]0;[ ${H1}... ] \w - \u@\H +$SHLVL @`tty 2>/dev/null` - [ `uptime` ]\007\]\n\[\]\$ '
 
# with nocolors
# export PS1='\n[\j:\!] \T \d [\u@\H:`tty 2>/dev/null` +${SHLVL}] \w\[\033]0;[ ${H1}... ] \w - \u@\H +$SHLVL @`tty 2>/dev/null` - [ `uptime` ]\007\]\n\[\]\$ '

TTY

This command is very useful for me because I use multiplexed terminals, about 6 at a time, so it is crucial sometimes to know which tty I am using. Since SSH is the ONLY protocol I ever use for anything, I used to depend on the SSH_TTY variable being set instead of using tty, which as a command has more overhead then just echoing a variable. But I found that when running multiplexing terminals with tmux, screen, etc.. the SSH_TTY variable stays with the initial tty created upon login. Note: 2>/dev/null redirects any errors that running the tty command might issue to the /dev/null device, which is the same thing as a black hole, it goes nowhere so is an efficient way to send data for deletion. Depending on your server and ssh settings you may not even have a tty or it may just appear that you do not. Some web hosting companies do odd things to prevent their users from using tty devices and programs. But if you get a little creative you can always find the current tty.. like $ readlink /proc/self/fd/0 will return the same thing as $ tty.

`tty 2>/dev/null`

Changing Window Title with PS1

This simple bash function changes the title of the window to the passed parameter. The key thing to note is that this works because of the special escapes on either end of the echo'd data.

function set_window_title()
{
  echo -e "\033]0; ${1:-$USER@$HOST - $SHLVL} \007";
}

Additional Info for Hackers

More reading and digging.

Strip Colors for Readability

You can use this command to strip a PS1 of all colors, which shortens the variable dramatically in some cases.

sed 's/\\[eE][[0-9]*;[0-9]*m//g' <<< $PS1
# ie export PS1=$(sed 's/\\[eE][[0-9]*;[0-9]*m//g' <<< $PS1);

Multi-Prompt Switcher Function

This function demonstrates 1 way that you can change your prompts at will. It creates an array named AAPS that you can add as many PS1 values to as you want. Each time the function is run it simply changes the prompt string variable PS1 to the value of the next item in the AAPS array. Once it reaches the last item in AAPS, it resets back to the first AAPS[0] prompt. Just an example to play with, not tested very much.

aa_multi_prompt ()
{
    declare -a AAPS;
    AAPS[0]='\n[\j:\!] \T \d [\u@\H:`tty 2>/dev/null` +${SHLVL}] \w\[\033]0;[ ${H1}... ] \w - \u@\H +$SHLVL @`tty 2>/dev/null` - [ `uptime` ]\007\]\n\[\]\$';
    AAPS[1]='\n[\j:\!] \T \d \n[\u@\H:`tty 2>/dev/null` +${SHLVL}] \w\[\033]0;[ ${H1}... ] \w - \u@\H +$SHLVL @`tty 2>/dev/null` - [ `uptime` ]\007\]\n\[\]\$';
 
    : ${PLVL:=0};
    [[ "${#AAPS[@]}" -lt "$PLVL" || "${#AAPS[@]}" -eq "$PLVL" ]] && PLVL=0;
    export PS1=${AAPS[$PLVL]} && (( PLVL++ )) && export PLVL
}

BASH 4 Multi-Prompt

Here's an example from bash-4, but it works for all bash versions.

prompt ()
{
    case "$1" in
        d)
            PS1='$(dirs) \$ '
        ;;
        n)
            PS1='\$ '
        ;;
        hsw)
            PS1='\h[$SHLVL]: \w \$ '
        ;;
        hw)
            PS1='\h: \w \$ '
        ;;
        sh)
            PS1='[$SHLVL] \h\$ '
        ;;
        sw)
            PS1='[$SHLVL] \w \$ '
        ;;
        uh)
            PS1='\u@\h\$ '
        ;;
        uhsHw)
            PS1='\u@\h[$SHLVL]:\#: \w \$ '
        ;;
        uhsw)
            PS1='\u@\h[$SHLVL]: \w \$ '
        ;;
        uhw)
            PS1='\u@\h: \w \$ '
        ;;
        uw)
            PS1='(\u) \w \$ '
        ;;
        w)
            PS1='\w \$ '
        ;;
    esac
}

Alternative to uptime:

echo "Up for $(( $(sed 's/^\([0-9]*\).*/\1/' /proc/uptime) / (60*60*24) )) days - [`cat /proc/loadavg`]"
# or
echo "Uptime: $(( `sed 's/^\([0-9]*\).*/\1/g' /proc/uptime` / 86400 )) days. Load: $(</proc/loadavg)"

Bash Prompts - More Reading

All Bash Prompt Variables

These are the environment variables provided by BASH (and most shells) and control your prompt string. While all are interesting and good to know about, PROMPT_COMMAND and PS1 are the only ones that directly modify the prompt that is displayed.

PROMPT_COMMAND

If set, the value is executed as a command prior to issuing each primary prompt.

PS1

The value of this parameter is expanded and used as the primary prompt string. The default value is "\s-\v\$ ".

PS2

The value of this parameter is expanded as with PS1 and used as the secondary prompt string. The default is "> ".

PS3

The value of this parameter is used as the prompt for the select command.

PS4

The value of this parameter is expanded as with PS1 and the value is printed before each command bash displays during an execution trace. The first character of PS4 is replicated multiple times, as necessary, to indicate multiple levels of indirection. The default is "+".

Prompt Escape Codes

When executing interactively, bash displays the primary prompt PS1 when it is ready to read a command and the secondary prompt PS2 when it needs more input to complete a command. Bash allows these prompt strings to be customized by inserting a number of backslash-escaped special characters that are decoded as follows:

• \a - an ASCII bell character (07)
• \d - the date in "Weekday Month Date" format (e.g., "Tue May 26")
• \D{format} - the format is passed to strftime(3) and the result is inserted into the prompt string; an empty format results in a locale-specific time representation. The braces are required
• \e - an ASCII escape character (033)
• \h - the hostname up to the first '.'
• \H - the hostname
• \j - the number of jobs currently managed by the shell
• \l - the basename of the shellâs terminal device name
• \n - newline
• \r - carriage return
• \s - the name of the shell, the basename of $0 (the portion following the final slash)
• \t - the current time in 24-hour HH:MM:SS format
• \T - the current time in 12-hour HH:MM:SS format
• \@ - the current time in 12-hour am/pm format
• \A - the current time in 24-hour HH:MM format
• \u - the username of the current user
• \v - the version of bash (e.g., 2.00)
• \V - the release of bash, version + patch level (e.g., 2.00.0)
• \w - the current working directory, with $HOME abbreviated with a tilde
• \W - the basename of the current working directory, with $HOME abbreviated with a tilde
• \! - the history number of this command
• \# - the command number of this command
• \$ - if the effective UID is 0, a #, otherwise a $
• \nnn - the character corresponding to the octal number nnn
• \\ - a backslash
• \[ - begin a sequence of non-printing characters, which could be used to embed a terminal control sequence into the prompt
• \] - end a sequence of non-printing characters

The command number and the history number are usually different: the history number of a command is its position in the history list, which may include commands restored from the history file, while the command number is the position in the sequence of commands executed during the current shell session. After the string is decoded, it is expanded via parameter expansion, command substitution, arithmetic expansion, and quote removal, subject to the value of the promptvars shell option, which if set, prompt strings undergo parameter expansion, command substitution, arithmetic expansion, and quote removal after being expanded as described in PROMPTING above. promptvars is enabled by default.

export PS1="\e[1;31m[\h]$NC \W > \[\033]0;\${TERM} [\u@\h] \w\]"

Benchmarking PROMPT_COMMAND

When figuring out how resource intensive your prompt_command is (if you choose to do that sort of thing), it's nice to do it like this. I ended up using this information from the following test to create the prompt_command used in the first 256-color prompt above.

#!/bin/bash
 
function clean_results()
{
      grep ^real | cut -dm -f2 | sort | uniq -c | sort -n
}
 
for i in {0..500};
do
      time sh -c "expr `sed -nu 's/^MemFree:[\t ]\+\([0-9]\+\) kB/\1/Ip' /proc/meminfo`/1024" &>/dev/nulll;
done 2>&1 | clean_results
 
# print separating line
printf "%$((${COLUMNS:-`tput cols`} - 10))s\n" ' ' | sed -u 's/ /-/g'
 
for i in {0..500};
do
      time sh -c "echo $(( `sed -nu 's/^MemFree:[\t ]\+\([0-9]\+\) kB/\1/Ip' /proc/meminfo`/1024 ))" &>/dev/null;
done 2>&1 | clean_results
 
exit $?

Generates this output, meaning that using expr takes longer.

Crazy POWERFUL Bash Prompt originally appeared on AskApache.com

I was going through some backups from years ago, and ran:

locate .htaccess | xargs -I'{}' cat '{}' >> master-htaccesser.txt

My site is named after reading source code because that is what helps me the most when I'm trying to learn something unusually difficult. Just like functions and aliases, it is very helpful to have cheatsheets for common commands.. not much is better than real-world examples. Unfortunately because this was compiled from hundreds of htaccess files on multiple hosts and platforms, and due to the concatenation, it's not organized.

Normally I would not publish something like this, who knows how much unreleased tricks I forgot about.. but in order to say thanks to all those working for open-source, the FSF, and to all those who don't steal content, and to all the incredible authors who shared with me (I twitter most of what I find, and follow my favs), here ya go..

ATTN: Please let me know if this is total junk or not, this is around 1/500th of my master-htaccesser.txt file.. and I'd be happy to post more if it helps..

### Section 1: Global Environment
#
# The directives in this section affect the overall operation of Apache,
# such as the number of concurrent requests it can handle or where it
# can find its configuration files.
#
#
# TZ: Your address, where problems with the server should be
# e-mailed.  This address appears on some server-generated pages, such
# as error documents.  e.g. admin@your-domain.com
#
SetEnv TZ America/Indianapolis
 
#
# ServerAdmin: Your address, where problems with the server should be
# e-mailed.  This address appears on some server-generated pages, such
# as error documents.  e.g. admin@your-domain.com
#
SetEnv SERVER_ADMIN webmaster@askapache.com
 
#
# Optionally add a line containing the server version and virtual host
# name to server-generated pages (internal error documents, FTP directory
# listings, mod_status and mod_info output etc., but not CGI generated
# documents or custom error documents).
# Set to "EMail" to also include a mailto: link to the ServerAdmin.
# Set to one of:  On | Off | EMail
#
ServerSignature Off
 
#
# Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",
# or any combination of:
#   Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews
#
# The Options directive is both complicated and important.  Please see
# http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#options
# for more information.
#
Options -Indexes -Includes -ExecCGI -MultiViews
 
#
# DirectoryIndex: sets the file that Apache will serve if a directory
# is requested.
#
DirectoryIndex index.php
 
#
# Action lets you define media types that will execute a script whenever
# a matching file is called. This eliminates the need for repeated URL
# pathnames for oft-used CGI file processors.
# Format: Action media/type /cgi-script/location
# Format: Action handler-name /cgi-script/location
#
Action php5-cgi /bin/php.cgi
 
#
# AddHandler allows you to map certain file extensions to "handlers":
# actions unrelated to filetype. These can be either built into the server
# or added with the Action directive (see below)
#
# To use CGI scripts outside of ScriptAliased directories:
# (You will also need to add "ExecCGI" to the "Options" directive.)
#
AddHandler php5-cgi .php .inc
 
#
# Commonly used filename extensions to character sets. You probably
# want to avoid clashes with the language extensions, unless you
# are good at carefully testing your setup after each change.
# See http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets for the
# official list of charset names and their respective RFCs.
#
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
 
#
# AddType allows you to add to or override the MIME configuration
# file mime.types for specific file types.
#
#
AddType 'application/rdf+xml; charset=UTF-8' .rdf
AddType 'application/xhtml+xml; charset=UTF-8' .xhtml
AddType 'application/xhtml+xml; charset=UTF-8' .xhtml.gz
AddType 'text/html; charset=UTF-8' .html
AddType 'text/html; charset=UTF-8' .html.gz
AddType application/octet-stream .rar .chm .bz2 .tgz .msi .pdf .exe
AddType application/vnd.ms-excel .csv
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
AddType application/x-pilot .prc .pdb
AddType application/x-shockwave-flash .swf
AddType application/xrds+xml .xrdf
AddType text/plain .ini .sh .bsh .bash .awk .nawk .gawk .csh .var .c .in .h .asc .md5 .sha .sha1
AddType video/x-flv .flv
 
#
# AddEncoding allows you to have certain browsers uncompress
# information on the fly. Note: Not all browsers support this.
# Despite the name similarity, the following Add* directives have nothing
# to do with the FancyIndexing customization directives above.
#
AddEncoding x-compress .Z
AddEncoding x-gzip .gz .tgz
 
#
# DefaultType: the default MIME type the server will use for a document
# if it cannot otherwise determine one, such as from filename extensions.
# If your server contains mostly text or HTML documents, "text/plain" is
# a good value.  If most of your content is binary, such as applications
# or images, you may want to use "application/octet-stream" instead to
# keep browsers from trying to display binary files as though they are
# text.
#
DefaultType text/html

# Pass: Allows request to continue, further filters could still halt request.
# Allow: Allows matching requests through, will not be tested against other filters.
# Deny: Stops the request outright, returns a HTTP 500 error code by default.
# Status: Used to specify an alternate HTTP error code.
# Redirect: Matching requests are redirected to the provided URL.
# Exec: Allows execution of a local system binary or script.
# Log: Logs request only.
# Nolog: Does not log request.
# Chain: Allows you to create list of filters for more granulated security. All filters must be cleared before action is taken with the final filter.

This deserves a note.. this trick lets you bypass so many hosting environment restrictions it's not even funny... like you can run bash as your webserver instead of apache! (kinda...)

### Section 1: Global Environment
#
# The directives in this section affect the overall operation of Apache,
# such as the number of concurrent requests it can handle or where it
# can find its configuration files.
#
#
# TZ: Your address, where problems with the server should be
# e-mailed.  This address appears on some server-generated pages, such
# as error documents.  e.g. admin@your-domain.com
#
SetEnv TZ America/Indianapolis
 
#
# ServerAdmin: Your address, where problems with the server should be
# e-mailed.  This address appears on some server-generated pages, such
# as error documents.  e.g. admin@your-domain.com
#
SetEnv SERVER_ADMIN webmaster@askapache.com
 
#
# Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",
# or any combination of:
#   Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews
#
# The Options directive is both complicated and important.  Please see
# http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#options
# for more information.
#
Options  +FollowSymLinks -ExecCGI -Indexes -Includes -MultiViews
 
#
# DirectoryIndex: sets the file that Apache will serve if a directory
# is requested.
#
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php /index.php
 
#
# The following lines prevent .htaccess and .htpasswd files from being
# viewed by Web clients.
#
<filesMatch "^\.ht">
    Order allow,deny
    Deny from all
  Satisfy All
</filesMatch>
 
#
# DefaultType: the default MIME type the server will use for a document
# if it cannot otherwise determine one, such as from filename extensions.
# If your server contains mostly text or HTML documents, "text/plain" is
# a good value.  If most of your content is binary, such as applications
# or images, you may want to use "application/octet-stream" instead to
# keep browsers from trying to display binary files as though they are
# text.
#
DefaultType text/html
 
#
# Optionally add a line containing the server version and virtual host
# name to server-generated pages (internal error documents, FTP directory
# listings, mod_status and mod_info output etc., but not CGI generated
# documents or custom error documents).
# Set to "EMail" to also include a mailto: link to the ServerAdmin.
# Set to one of:  On | Off | EMail
#
ServerSignature Off
