Access Gateway has the following types of profiles:
The default Word profile, named default, is not specific to a reverse proxy or its proxy services.
If you enable HTML rewriting and do not define a custom Word profile for the proxy service, the default Word profile is used. This profile is preconfigured to rewrite Web Server Host Name and any other names listed in Additional DNS Name List. The preconfigured profile matches all URLs with the following content-types:
|
text/html |
text/javascript |
|
text/xml |
application/javascript |
|
text/css |
application/x-javascript |
When you modify the behavior of a default profile, remember its scope. If the default profile does not match your requirements, create your own custom Word profile or custom Character profile.
A Word profile searches for matches on words. For example, “get” matches the word “get” and words that begin with “get” such as “getaway”. It does not match the “get” in “together” or “beget.”
For information about how strings are replaced in a Word profile, see the following:
You must create a custom Word profile when an application requires rewrites of paths in JavaScript. If the application needs strings replaced or new content-types, these can also be added to the custom profile.
In a custom Word profile, you can also configure the match criteria so that the profile matches specific URLs. For more information, see Page Matching Criteria for Rewriter Profiles.
When you create a custom Word profile, you need to position it before the default profile in the list of profiles. Only one Word profile is applied per page. The first Word profile that matches the page is applied. Profiles lower in the list are ignored.
A custom Character profile searches for matches on a specified set of characters. For example, “top” matches the word “top” and the “top” in “tabletop,” “stopwatch,” and “topic.” If you need to replace strings that require this type of search, you must create a custom Character profile.
For information about how strings are replaced in a Character profile, see String Replacement Rules for Character Profiles.
In a custom Character profile, you can also configure the match criteria so that the profile matches specific URLs. For more information, see Page Matching Criteria for Rewriter Profiles.
After the rewriter finds and applies the Word profile that matches the page, it finds and applies one Character profile. The first Character profile that matches the page is applied. Character profiles lower in the list are ignored.
