Script of the Day: .htTool

If you have any problems configuring .htaccess files, then .htTool is a gift from God. Its unique interface allows easy generation of complex .htaccess rules to use in securing a site's Web folders.

.htTool allows webmasters to save lots of time they'd usually spend reading, learning and experimenting with complex .htaccess rules.

Just by entering the site's URL and checking a few options, complex .htaccess configuration files can be generated in a matter of seconds.

.htTool can be used to compress text, CSS, HTML, JavaScript & XML, establish a basic caching system, correct mime-types for video files, force media downloads, redirect and use custom error pages, prevent file hot-linking, redirect non-www traffic to www, properly redirect /sitemap.xml to /sitemapxml/ and even force IE browsers to the latest available rendering engine.

If you want to improve the .htTool interface, fork and expand its code from GitHub.
