[users@httpd] Odd interaction between mod_rewrite and mod_cgi

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



  About eight months ago I wrote about this problem.  Today I had some spare
time to test it again, this time with Apache 2.0.55 and it *still* persists.

  First, the original email:

  Some other notes.  Yes, I've tried

	 RewriteRule   ^([0-9][0-9])(.*) nph-blog.cgi/$1$2 [P,L]

  Doesn't work, since I'm not proxying anything.  I've also tried

	RewriteRule   ^([0-9][0-9])(.*) nph-blog.cgi/$1$2 [T,L]

  And I get the same behavior as above.  I even tried

	 RewriteRule   ^([0-9][0-9])(.*) nph-blog.cgi/$1$2 [PT,L]

  And I *still* get the behavior above, only a bit slower.

Is there anything else I'm missing, or can I finally report this as a bug to
the Apache development team?

  -spc (Or perhaps I should try my luck with 2.2?)
