I want to set up my website so that anytime a URL of the form somedomain.cu.cc/resources/file.ext (or even www.somedomain.cu.cc/resources/file.ext) is accessed, it would redirect to resources.somedomain.cu.cc/file.ext - for example:

http://jamestheawesomedude.cu.cc/resources/bootstrap/css/bootstrap.min.css
gets redirected to:
http://resources.jamestheawesomedude.cu.cc/bootstrap/css/bootstrap.min.css

http://www.reismphack.cu.cc/resources/[1.5.2]ReiMinimap_v3.3_06[PATCH].zip
gets redirected to:
http://resources.reismphack.cu.cc/[1.5.2]ReiMinimap_v3.3_06[PATCH].zip

..et cetera. I couldn't figure out how to pull this off, perhaps somone else will have better luck?

Thanks in advance.

Hiawatha version: 9.1

You can use the UrlToolkit to rewrite the URL.

VirtualHost {
  ...
  UseToolkit = my_rewrite_rule
}

UrlToolkit {
  ToolkitID = my_rewrite_rule
  Match ^/resources/(.*) Rewrite /$1
}

That doesn't seem to be working...
Here is a sample piece of my hiawatha.conf file:

UrlToolkit {
        ToolkitID = resources
        Match ^/resources/(.*) Rewrite /$1
}VirtualHost {
        Hostname = jamestheawesomedude.cu.cc
        WebsiteRoot = /var/www
        StartFile = index.html
        ExecuteCGI = yes
        TimeForCGI = 4
#       UseToolkit = resources
}

VirtualHost {
        Hostname = resourcesjamestheawesomedude.cu.cc
        WebsiteRoot = /var/www/resources
        ExecuteCGI = no
}

When I try to go to jamestheawesomedude.cu.cc/resources/bootstrap/css/bootstrap.css, it works fine, but if I uncomment the UseToolkit line, restart the serwer, and reload the page, it gives a 404 (but the URL never gets changed.) I recomment the line, restart the server, reload the page, and the file's there again.

Ow, wait. The hostname is different. In that case:

UrlToolkit {
        ToolkitID = resources
        Match ^/resources/(.*) Redirect http://resources.jamestheawesomedude.cu.cc/$1
}
