I have figured out the problem. Once apache tested the request URI it
tested it a second time as an internal redirect and would fail, or get
in a loop. So I just had to tell it not to check for /wc , which wasn't
excluded by the !-f and !-d because it doesn't exist on the filesystem
because it is a perl handler.
my config that works:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/wc
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /wc?uni=$1 [L]
Thanks solprovider and André for your help.
