The END flag for mod_rewrite in Apache 2.4 does not appear to be working correctly. I have a directory named test with a file test.html. I have placed an .htaccess file in the directory with the following content
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^test$ test.html [NC,QSA,END]
RewriteRule ^$ test.html [NC,QSA,END]Here is the rewrite log for the request

Why is mod_rewrite making sub requests for directory index files index.html and index.php, when the second rule matches the request? If I set a FallbackResource directive, then the fallback file is served, instead of the rewritten file.
Request for
http://localhost.dev/test/test works without any sub request, as expected

In 2.2 it is working, even if the FallbackResource directive is set. The problem is only in httpd 2.4. Is this a bug?
