Is there any chance that the SetEnvIfNoCase directive is not being satisfied due to the mod_rewrite rules that I'm using? All requests are routed through a single file, /index.php, via the following mod_rewrite directives: # Rewrite URIs of the form 'index.php?q=x' # (except for real files/directories): RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA] So, a request for the URL https://localhost/public/download/My%20Installer.zip will be rewritten to https://localhost/public/index.php?q=/download/My%20Installer.zip . Curiously, if I examine Apache's environment variables after the rewrite has been performed, the "REQUEST_URI" value is "/public/download/My%20Installer.zip". Given the above, shouldn't the SetEnvIfNoCase directive return a match?
