Rewrite Engine

A rewrite engine is a piece of computer software used to modify URLs, for a variety of purposes. The Apache HTTP server has a rewrite engine called mod_rewrite, which has been described as "the Swiss Army knife of URL manipulation". There are also rewrite engines for other web servers such as Microsoft's Internet Information Server (IIS). A detailed description of Apache's mod_rewrite is available on the Apache.org website. Benefits derived from a rewrite engine are:
  • rendering complex web site structures search-engine friendly;
  • preventing undesired 'hot linking'
