 // Rewrite is a middleware which can rewrite HTTP requests.

-// These rewrite properties are applied to a request in this order:
-// Method, URI, StripPrefix, StripSuffix, URISubstring.

-// TODO: This module is still a WIP and may experience breaking changes.
+// The Method and URI properties are "setters": the request URI
+// will be set to the given values. Other properties are "modifiers":
+// they modify existing files but do not explicitly specify what the
+// result will be. It is atypical to combine the use of setters and

 	// Only components of the URI that are specified will be changed.
+	// For example, a value of "/foo.html" or "foo.html" will only change
+	// the path and will preserve any existing query string. Similarly, a
+	// value of "?a=b" will only change the query string and will not affect
+	// the path. Both can also be changed: "/foo?a=b" - this sets both the
+	// path and query string at the same time.
+	//
+	// You can also use placeholders. For example, to preserve the existing
+	// query string, you might use: "?{http.request.uri.query}&a=b". Any
+	// key-value pairs you add to the query string will not overwrite
+	// existing values.
