Dear freebsd-{chat,current,doc}_at_, I would like to announce and introduce <URL:http://mdoc.su/>, a deterministic URL shortener for BSD manual pages, written entirely in nginx.conf. It supports several address schemes, for example: http://mdoc.su/f/zfs http://mdoc.su/f/zfs.8 http://mdoc.su/f/8/zfs http://mdoc.su/freebsd/zfs http://mdoc.su/FreeBSD/zfs http://mdoc.su/d/hammer.5 http://mdoc.su/d/hammer.8 etc. Source code for the whole mdoc.su.nginx.conf is available at: https://github.com/cnst/mdoc.su https://bitbucket.org/cnst/mdoc.su Specifically, the following currently controls FreeBSD rewriting: location /FreeBSD { rewrite ^/FreeBSD(/.*)?$ /f$1; } location /f { set $fb "http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query="; set $fs "&sektion="; rewrite ^/freebsd(/.*)?$ /.$1; rewrite ^/./([^/.]+)/([^/]+)$ $fb$2$fs$1 redirect; rewrite ^/./([^/]+)\.([1-9])$ $fb$1$fs$2 redirect; rewrite ^/./([^/]+)$ $fb$1$fs redirect; rewrite ^/./?$ / last; return 404; } Translation: "/FreeBSD" and "/freebsd" get rewritten to "/f" internally, without any extra replies to the user, and then the rest of the URI is analysed, and a "302 Found" redirect is finally issued to the user. Pages like http://mdoc.su/f/ redirect to the main "/" page internally, without affecting the URL that's visible to the user, making it easier to keep a starting page specifically for one BSD. Questions, comments and suggestions are very welcome. Available through IPv4 and IPv6. Enjoy! Best regards, Constantine.Received on Tue Feb 19 2013 - 07:27:03 UTC
