The URI works as desired, returning the document as desired, and the end-user is never aware that anything untoward happened. I'm curious why I'm getting this error. I see the place in the code where it is generated, but I'm not clear why this particular URI generates it and others do not. For additional background, '/hr' is a php file, and '/jobs' therefore is PATH_INFO data. However, this technique is used for virtually every document on my website, so the technique itself is unlikely to be at fault - at least, as far as I can tell.Interesting. I assume that the error is being triggered for requests from ordinary web clients? Is your "hr" script triggering any sub-requests? My last-ditch effort to find the cause would be to run httpd -X under gdb and set a breakpoint at that error message. Another option would be simply to replace r->the_request with r->uri in the error message so that you can see what is really triggering the problem. (That might actually be a good patch in general; it is silly to test the validity of one thing and then report a possibly different thing in the error message.) My best guess is that something in your script is causing r->uri to get rewritten to an invalid path.
I tried this, and r->uri is being rewritten to a path of "http:// www.example.edu/hr/jobs/" ... so, yeah, it seems that something I'm doing somewhere in rewriterules is causing the path to be written as a fully-qualified URL. Weird. So that at least gives me something to look for. Thanks for the suggestion. I'm still confused, but at least I'm confused about something different. :-)
