urihandler 0.1.0

A tiny application that handles (cool) uri's.

This very simple applications is meant to be the handler on a domain that handles Cool Uri’s (http://www.w3.org/TR/cooluris/) with 303 redirects.

All it does is map Uri’s to other uri’s and redirect them. To make thing easy you can either redirect by hitting the full URI (eg. http://id.example.com/foo/15) or by querying a hanle service (eg. http://id.example.com/handle?uri=http://id.example.com/foo/15). This can be handy to bypass some of the strangeness that happens when you combine Cool uri’s with CORS and custom HTTP headers.

Configuration is done by editing a YAML file. For each URI you need to register a regex and a redirect template. The regex should use named placeholders, as well as the redirect string. An optional argument mount determines if your match is living at the server root or is absolute (eg. because it’s a URN). Not setting mount sets it to True.
