Does anyone have an idea on the rewrite rules for Nibbleblob (www.nibbleblog.com)?
Wasn't able to find anything about it here and on the internet. So maybe someone knows how to convert rewrite rules from Nginx to Hiawatha?!

I found these for Nginx:

    # rewrite rules if file/folder did not exist
    location @rewrites {
        rewrite ^/dashboard$ /admin.php?controller=user&action=login last;
        rewrite ^/feed /feed.php last;
        rewrite ^/category/([^/]+)/page-([0-9]+)$ /index.php?controller=blog&action=view&category=$1&page=$2 last;
        rewrite ^/category/([^/]+)/$ /index.php?controller=blog&action=view&category=$1&page=0 last;
        rewrite ^/page-([0-9]+)$ /index.php?controller=blog&action=view&page=$1 last;
    }
    
    # location catch for /post-#/Post_Title
    # will also catch odd instances of /post-#/something.php
    location ~ ^/post-([0-9]+)/ {
        rewrite ^ /index.php?controller=post&action=view&id_post=$1 last;
    }
    
    # cache control for static files
    location ~* \.(?:ico|css|js|gif|jpe?g|png)$ {
        expires max;
        add_header Pragma public;
        add_header Cache-Control "public, must-revalidate, proxy-revalidate";
    }


    # common files to deny/tweak
    location = /robots.txt  { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
    location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }    
    location ~ /\.          { access_log off; log_not_found off; deny all; }
    location ~ ~$           { access_log off; log_not_found off; deny all; }

Hiawatha version: 9.6
Operating System: openSUSE 13.1 64-Bit (PHP 5.4)

It must be something like this. Be careful, I haven't tested it.

UrlToolkit {
    Match \.(?:ico|css|js|gif|jpe?g|png)$ Expire 2 months Return
    Match ^/dashboard$ Rewrite /admin.php?controller=user&action=login
    Match ^/feed Rewrite /feed.php
    Match ^/category/([^/]+)/page-([0-9]+)$ Rewrite /index.php?controller=blog&action=view&category=$1&page=$2
    Match ^/category/([^/]+)/$ Rewrite /index.php?controller=blog&action=view&category=$1&page=0
    Match ^/page-([0-9]+)$ Rewrite /index.php?controller=blog&action=view&page=$1
    Match ^/post-([0-9]+)/ Rewrite /index.php?controller=post&action=view&id_post=$1
}

I changed it to

UrlToolkit {
    ToolkitID = nibbleblog
    Match ^/admin$ Rewrite /admin.php?controller=user&action=login
    Match ^/category/([^/]+)/page-([0-9]+)$ Rewrite /index.php?controller=blog&action=view&category=$1&number=$2
    Match ^/category/([^/]+)/$ Rewrite /index.php?controller=blog&action=view&category=$1&number=0
    Match ^/tag/([^/]+)/page-([0-9]+)$ Rewrite /index.php?controller=blog&action=view&tag=$1&number=$2
    Match ^/tag/([^/]+)/$ Rewrite /index.php?controller=blog&action=view&tag=$1&number=0
    Match ^/page-([0-9]+)$ Rewrite /index.php?controller=blog&action=view&number=$1
    Match ^/post/([^/]+)/$ Rewrite /index.php?controller=post&action=view&post=$1
    Match ^/post-([0-9]+)/(.*)$ Rewrite /index.php?controller=post&action=view&id_post=$1
    Match ^/page/([^/]+)/$ Rewrite /index.php?controller=page&action=view&page=$1
    Match ^/feed/$ Rewrite /feed.php
    Match ^/([^/]+)/$ Rewrite /index.php?controller=page&action=$1
} 

This works great and might be added to the HOWTOs?

Thanks a lot for the fast response. I know understand the scheme and mechanism a lot better. And thanks for such a great, fast, secure, functional and beautiful webserver.
