I am having trouble telling mod_rewrite to leave an incoming url as is. There are other rules that take every incoming url and rewrite it based on some parameters. In other words i am trying to say.... this url is an exception and there no matter what, leave it alone and let it go as is to tomcat. I am using this rule RewriteRule ^/dwr/interface/PeopleService.js$ - [L] I think this should work since minus sign does No substitution and L means this is the last rule. Also, I would like to know how the order of the rules in the conf file matters. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/mod_rewrite-no-substituion-tp16189297p16189297.html Sent from the Apache HTTP Server - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
