mod_rewrite to change file extension case

[aus_pilot]

Hi guys - first post here.....

I was wondering if anyone know how to use mod_rewrite to change file name extensions on a website from uppercase to lower.

This is what I have so far...


RewriteRule ^/?([a-z/]+)\.JPG$ $1.jpg [L]

Any ideas ??

if you can and if you have many extension, not only jpg, a better idea is to use mod_speling

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_speling.html

or mod_mime:

AddType image/jpeg .jpg .jpeg


http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_mime.html#addtype

with mod rewrite try this:

RewriteRule ^(.+)\.JPG$ $1.jpg

I guess will work, but that's depend on server setup, you must try in your case
add L if you are sure you want to be last rule

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/rewrite/rewrite_guide.html

I'm having some trouble with mod_rewrite on a server. I'm not sure if it's deactivated, or if my code is wrong. I can't check it it's enabled or not, I am just a hired hand.

SetEnv TZ America/Chicago

DirectoryIndex index.php

AddType application/octet-stream .psd

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^ipbactive.php$ ipbactive.png

ipbactive.png exists on the server? what response you get for the url http://..../ipbactive.php ?

Can't believe I responded to this thread. I thought I was hitting "New Thread" >.<

The server is giving a 404 on the file ipbactive.png, not a 500 error, so It doesn't seem to be a major error if any.

that mean ipbactive.png doesn't exists and rewrite is working. You need just to upload the file in this case.

Well what I'm trying to do is mask ipbactive.php with ipbactive.png so that it can be used on the net, as most sites will not accept .php as a image.

It's a dynamic image that changes regularly.

LOL never mind.

you don't need rewrite for this or to mask the file, just a header in ipactive.php:

header("Content-Type: image/png");


who ask for this url will first ask for content type, and because will be image/png will use it as a image.
