Apache serve alternate file extension for javascript?

  • 772

If the client requests a file ending with .js from Apache, I'd like Apache to first check if there is a .js.min file of the same basename and serve it if it exists, and otherwise, serve the original .js file. Can I do that with the standard Apache mods that come with Debian?

apache-2.2

    Absolutely.

    RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.js$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.min -f
RewriteRule (.*) $1.min [T=text/javascript]

    You may want the L flag as well, if you know you don't need further rewriting.
