  • Pattern type: This specifies how Redirector should interpret the patterns, either as wildcards or regular expressions.

  • Unescape matches: A common usage of Redirector is to catch urls like - http://foo.com/redirect.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fbar%2Ecom%2Fpath and try to catch the url parameter and redirect to it. A pattern - like http://foo.com/redirect.php?url=* might be used for that purpose. However, if the url parameter is escaped (also known - as urlencoded) then that won't work. In the url above we see that it starts with http%3A%2F%2F instead of http://, and Firefox - won't accept this as a new url to redirect to. So, in cases like these you can check the Unescape matches option and then all - matches will be unescaped (turned from e.g. http%3A%2F%2Fbar%2Ecom to http://bar.com) before being inserted into the target url. -

  • Escape matches: The opposite of Unescape matches. Let's say you want to redirect all requests to - a domain like http://example.com to some proxy site that took the url to proxy as an url parameter. Then you might do something like the regular expression pattern - ^(http://example\.com/.*) and redirect it to http://proxysite.com?url=$1. If you used the Escape matches option then the - final url would become http://proxysite.com?url=http%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Ffoo%2Fbar. -

  • Process Matches: In some cases parameters in urls are encoded in different ways. The Process Matches option allows you to select a few + different ways to process the Regular expression matches before using them. The decoding options available are: + +
  • Apply to: The Apply to option is new in version 3.0 of Redirector. For 99% of cases you won't need this, so don't worry about it. By default Redirector only redirects requests from the address bar of your browser, the page you're viewing. It doesn't redirect requests for scripts, iframes, images -- cgit v1.2.3
