Hippo URL Rewriter – Release Notes

2.2.0

Release Date: 26 April 2018

HIPFORGE-153
Upgrade to 11.2.7 and urlrewritefilter 4.0.4-h2, that uses Apache httpclient 4.5.5 instead of commons-httpclient 3.1.
Drop RequestProxyPassCookies class introduced in 2.0.2 as it was using commons-httpclient.

2.1.0

Release Date: 23 March 2017

HIPPLUG-1452
The underlying filter from Tuckey is cloned on GitHub, improved and now used in the plugin: see github.com/onehippo/urlrewritefilter. This will most notably fix:
- HIPPLUG-1419
  Redirect doesn't work unless ASCII characters are used, i.e. Cyrillic URLs are supported now.
- HIPPLUG-1093
  The "Append Query String" checkbox in advanced rules doesn't add a "?" to the start of the query strings.
- When using advanced rule of type 'proxy', or the XML equivalent, cookies are now passed along by default, so the RequestProxyPassCookies class introduced in 2.0.2 is no longer needed. See also the XML Rule page.
  This means a change in the default behaviour for proxy type rules compared to previous versions.

2.0.2

Release Date: 15 Nov 2016

HIPPLUG-1393
The URL Rewriter version and configuration is now shown on top of the status page, in a blue box.

HIPPLUG-1180
Support for passing along cookies when proxying a POST, by providing Java class that is to be used in an XML rule with a <run> element, like so:

<run class="org.onehippo.forge.rewriting.run.RequestProxyPassCookies" method="execute">
  <init-param>
    <param-name>target</param-name>
    <param-value>http://localhost:8081/$1</param-value>
  </init-param>
</run>

In 2.1.0, cookies are passed along by default.

Improvements to prevent hiccups and possible OOM during reloading of url rewrite rules.

Note: this version lost an internal dependency to commons-httpclient:commons-httpclient:jar:3.0.1 from the "urlrewriter-module-hst" module. This breaks the proxy functionality so please add the dependency again at project level, normally in file "site/pom.xml".

Please see using the URL Rewriter.

1.04.00

Release Date: November 19, 2013

HIPPLUG-379
Upgrader for projects using versions <= 1.01.04. This upgrader upgrades the namespace and migrates all your existing documents to the new types.
Warning: This upgrade contains a Namespace visitor.

The upgrader does not handle:
- rulesetxml documents
- rules with multiple rule compounds
To enable the upgrader (which consists of 4 phases) add version "url-rewriter-updater-1-04" to hippo:initialize and restart your system.
You do not need to run the upgrader if you are on 1.02.00 and later, unless you want to be in sync with the latest namespace version (1.1).
In that case, you need only to run the last 2 phases of the upgrader. To do so, add version "url-rewriter-updater-1-04-phaseB" to hippo:initialize. This will trigger the last 2 phases, that is phase C and D, in which no content is changed.
Logging will happen on INFO level; the category you (may) need to set is "org.onehippo.forge.rewriting.updater".
