Hi, I'm trying to set an environment variable with a RewriteRule for later use in a SSI document using this directive in a .htaccess file (the full file is attached below): RewriteRule ^(.+)\.html$ index.shtml [E=TEST:$1,L] Alltough the rewritelog file says "setting env variable 'TEST' to 'org anisation'" the statement in the index.shtml file <!--#echo var="TEST" --> prints "(none)". Funny is, that if I change the RewriteRule to RewriteRule ^(.+)\.shtml$ index.shtml [E=TEST:$1,L] and call the URL with the shtml extension the variable is set. A variable set directly using SetEnv is available in the SSI document in any case. Adding .html to the INCLUDE output filter doesn't change anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
