Region
Region Commands
A Region directive controls access by applying one or more special control
commands, called Region commands, to the region on the server that matches the
URL path specified in the directive. The Region commands you can specify are as
follows:
AddCGI env-var value
The AddCGI command sets a specified CGI environment variable (env-var) to a
default (value) for all CGI programs in a given region. For example:
Region /* {
AddCGI CGI_LIBRARY /usr/tandem/webserver/lib
}
In this example, environment variable CGI_LIBRARY is set to
/usr/tandem/webserver/lib for all CGI programs within the region /*.
The setting of an AddCGI command has no effect on server objects that are not CGI
programs.
For more information about CGI environment variables, see Section 8, Using
Common Gateway Interface (CGI) Programs.
AllowHost [-noexist] host-pattern ...
The AllowHost command returns an “access denied” message if a web client's
host or IP address does not match one of the specified host patterns
(host-pattern...). If the web client’s host name or IP address does not match,
no additional commands within the directive are evaluated. In specifying a host
pattern, you can use the special matching characters listed in Table A-5 on
page A-40.
If you specify the -noexist option, the
AllowHost command returns a “not
found” message instead of an “access denied” message.
For example, the command in the following directive restricts access to the
/admin/ section of the server to hosts in the domain company.com:
Region /admin/ {
AllowHost *.company.com
}
DefaultType mime-type
The DefaultType command sets the default MIME type (mime-type) for all
files in a given region. The type specified is returned by the server for any file that
does not have a matching MIME type extension (see MimeType on page A-30) or
that has no extension. The DefaultType command overrides the default specified
by the DefaultType configuration directive (see DefaultType on page A-15).
