Please let's add support for mod_rewrite directives

Hey so I spent a lot of time converting mod_rewrite to the approriate
redirection rules. I gotta say it's a huge hassle. If doing it manually with
the conf file you have to label it with a valid rule number so that's a lot
of find/replaces and it's just way too much typing. How posible would it be
to add support for mod rewrite alteast the syntax so we can copy/paste. I'm
going to look at source tonight but let me know what you think...

This could probably be done in the admin interface, a simple wizard or
something where you paste the mod_rewrite rules and it converts it to
the cherokee format.

It would have to be some sort of compiler; must be possible, don't know
if this will have priority. I would say: log a RFE :)

I second that.

The one big thing that would lead to the adoption of cherokee in the mass
hosting market would be an apache compatible rewrite rule parser.

The Litespeed web server had a tremendous adoption rate because it was
apache compatible

I remember having issues with this from switching to Cherokee. I volunteer
to write a Python mod_rewrite-to-Cherokee translater/lexer/compiler/whatever
you want to call it/etc. that integrates with cherokee-admin.

First of all, allow me to make it clear: Cherokee will not support
Apache configuration files.

Having said that, I'd like to say that I'm *all* for integrating a
converter (as long as it works well enough). So, any effort of writing
one is more than welcome. :-)

Personally, I think that's the best option: It'd allow to make
migrations easier (which of course is a very interesting feature) and
the same time that it would not make Cherokee depend on a
configuration format that is neither user-friendly nor easily machine-
readable (and that would basically make cherokee-admin imposible).

My plan was to write a translator; my apologies if that was not clear. I
tried to clear that up with the "integrates with cherokee-admin" and
"Python" parts, but I do apologize. With your approval, I will begin right
away. The translator should be easy enough, but I'll have to study
cherokee-admin more closely to integrate it. I'll let all of you know how it
goes. Alvaro, once I'm done, would you like me to just send the patches to
you via e-mail?
