!-f says "NOT an existing filename"
-f  says "is an existing filename"
There are "-d" for directories and "-l" for links.

If you have all together [ !-f, !-d, (!-l if you are using symlinks) ] than you have exact what you want.

Hi Robert

Thanks for your answer.

I changed the directives according to your input and installed the log.

Apparently the directive RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f matches 
requests for existing files, which it should exactly not do.
I try to filter out all requests for non existing documents and folders 
and lead them to my script, but leave the existing stuff untouched.

Is there a different way to do the filtering for non existing documents 
(with leaving what has been entered in the Address Bar unchanged)?

Thanks and greetings,
Carole.
