Joshua, thank you for your reply ..
1. Have you tried the -U test rather than -F? This should pass the request through apache's url-handling stuff. (You'll need to modify the rest of the RewriteCond to use a url-path rather than a file path).
no, i didn't even know about the -U flag :-) However, things does not
work as expected.. even though it should, after reading the mod_rewrite
manual again ..
here's what i'm doing now ..
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-U
RewriteCond %{IS_SUBREQ} 'false'
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ balancer://my_balancer%{REQUEST_URI} [P,QSA,L]
and this produces the following log output:
initial (2) init rewrite engine with requested uri /non_existing_url
initial (3) applying pattern '^/(.*)$' to uri '/non_existing_url'
sub (2) init rewrite engine with requested uri /non_existing_url
sub (3) applying pattern '^/(.*)$' to uri '/non_existing_url'
sub (4) RewriteCond: input='/non_existing_url' pattern='!-U' => matched
sub (4) RewriteCond: input='true' pattern='false' => not-matched
sub (1) pass through /non_existing_url
initial (5) RewriteCond URI (-U) check: path=/non_existing_url ->
status=200
initial (4) RewriteCond: input='/non_existing_url' pattern='!-U' =>
not-matched
initial (1) pass through /non_existing_url Even though the url i've requested does not exist, the -U flag is reporting a 200 status. After all rewriting has been done i get a 404 - as expected. I'm not sure why the -U is reporting a 200. Any idea?
