Notes¶

• Xml Declaration
• List of Rewrite Rules
• Each Rewrite Rule contains:
  • PathType: this identifies how the path is interpreted
  • LookFor: the incoming path
  • SendTo: if the incoming address matches the LookFor url, then this is the path that the page is sent to
  • RedirectPath: this attribute is used only when the url is forwarded to a new url. The address on the browser is updated to match the SendTo url.
