3. Click the Web Site button and choose Create Rule.
4. Click the Basics tab and complete the following fields:
Field Action
Description Enter a name that differentiates this rule from others you create.
Type of Rule Choose one:
v Directory -- To allow a server file-system directory to be accessed by a URL
path.
v Redirection -- Resource identified by the URL has been moved to a different
location or Web site.
v Substitution -- To replace a string in the URL with another string.
v HTTP response header -- To add an Expire header or custom headers to
HTTP responses that match specified URL patterns and response codes.
Incoming URL pattern Pattern that describes the URLs affected by this rule.
If you are defining many rules, specify the longest unique pattern for each
rule. Do not include http or the host name in the pattern.
Redirect to this URL (Redirection only) Enter the new URL location. If the URL pattern in this field
starts with a slash, the rule is treated as internal redirection. Otherwise, the
rule is assumed to be external redirection.
The pattern for an external redirection needs to start with an Internet protocol
string that the browser understands, such as http: or ftp.
Replacement pattern (Substitution only) Enter the string that replaces the matching part of the
incoming URL.
Target server directory (Directory only) Enter the file-system directory path being mapped. This can
be specified as a fully-qualified path or a path relative to the data directory. If
you want to map a directory that isn’t under the Domino data directory,
specify the fully qualified path.
Service providers: Use the organization’s data directory.
Access level (Directory only) Choose one:
v Read access -- To allow browser users to read files from the directory are
displayed in the browser or downloaded. When a user requests a file from
the directory, the server sends the contents of the file back to the browser.
v Execute access -- To allow browser users to load and run CGI programs in
the directory. The server relays the output from the program to the browser.
HTTP response codes (HTTP Response Header only) Enter the HTTP response codes to which you
want your response headers applied.
Expires header (HTTP Response Header only) Choose one:

v Don’t add header -- Files in the directory are displayed in the browser or
downloaded.
v Add header only if application did not -- Files in the directory are CGI files
to be executed on the server.
v Always add header (override application’s header)
Note: If you choose to add a header, you must specify an expiration period --
either by specifying the number of days for which you want to enable this
header, or a date after which you want to disable this header.
