Your strings don't start with a slash, which means you're in directory/location/htaccess context. In this context, after any rewrite occurs the entire process is re-started with the new URL. This makes 'L' work a little different then in virtualhost context. "Remember, however, that if the RewriteRule generates an internal redirect (which frequently occurs when rewriting in a per-directory context), this will reinject the request and will cause processing to be repeated starting from the first RewriteRule." Maybe you could set an environment variables [E=foo:bar] to remember you've rewritten this request? -- Eric Covener covener@xxxxxxxxx --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
