[users@httpd] unexpected RewriteRule behavior

"Michael D. Berger" <m.d.berger@xxxxxxxx> · Mon, 31 Oct 2005 21:23:42 -0500

The following:

   ...
   RewriteEngine on
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*/picts/.*$
   RewriteRule ^/.*\.html(\?.*$)? /index.cgi$2 [L]
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^.*/picts/.*$
   RewriteRule ^/(.*/)?$ /index.cgi [L]
</VirtualHost>

sends
   GET /favicon.ico
to index.cgi .  I would not expect this because it
does not appear to match any pattern.  Wherein do
I err?

Thanks for your help.
Mike.
