47 47  Anyone who has used WebObjects has likely noticed that WebObjects URLs are long [[http:~~/~~/yoursite.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/AppName.woa/wa/something>>url:http://yoursite.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/AppName.woa/wa/something||shape="rect"]]{{code language="none"}}{{/code}}. It is a common request to make these URLs nicer for end-users who are used to just requesting [[http:~~/~~/yoursite.com>>url:http://yoursite.com||shape="rect"]]{{code language="none"}}{{/code}}. Fortunately Apache provides an amazingly extensive module called "mod_rewrite" that allows you to rewrite the URL requests of your site based on a series of regular expressions and rules.

173 +In 2.2, access control based on client hostname, IP address, and other characteristics of client requests was done using the directives [[Order>>url:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_access_compat.html#order||shape="rect"]]{{code language="none"}}{{/code}}, [[Allow>>url:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_access_compat.html#allow||shape="rect"]]{{code language="none"}}{{/code}}, [[Deny>>url:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_access_compat.html#deny||shape="rect"]]{{code language="none"}}{{/code}}, and [[Satisfy>>url:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_access_compat.html#satisfy||shape="rect"]]{{code language="none"}}{{/code}}.
174 +
175 +In 2.4, such access control is done in the same way as other authorization checks, using the new module [[mod_authz_host>>url:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_authz_host.html||shape="rect"]]{{code language="none"}}{{/code}}. The old access control idioms should be replaced by the new authentication mechanisms, although for compatibility with old configurations, the new module [[mod_access_compat>>url:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_access_compat.html||shape="rect"]]{{code language="none"}}{{/code}} is provided.
