I'd like to get rid of paths like //foo/bar, too, which do not match with this rule. To be honest I don't quite understand the rule. That's probably the reason why I can't modify if correctly to match to //foo/bar as well. When I saw the regexp, I thought that I would end up without any slashes but obviously I'm not. Wouldn't matching /foo//bar/ match as $1=/foo and $2=bar/ ? Why does it not match like that? Then also it seems to me that (.*) should also match an empty string which would mean that leading slashes would get stripped, too. Why does that not happen? I'm really sorry. I'm usually not too bad with regexps (at least on Perl) but this one is confusing me. :( Cheers, Christian --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
