+[Lighttpd]'s module [mod_rewrite] can be used for interal redirects,
+URL rewrites by the server. To enable it just use `extraConfig` option of
+[Server] [constructor()] to load and configure it, for example:
+

+`,

+// With such configuration, for example, a request
+// GET "/some/path/file"
+// will be redirected to
+// GET "/file"
 ```
