I am a bit intimidated by your detailed explanation and the level of expertise required to fully understand your requirements, never mind finding a solution. But reading your post in diagonals gives me the feeling that maybe the sum of your requirements is just a bit too much to be covered by generic modules like mod_rewrite et al., which after all are generic tools and not specifically designed to cover all possible cases and countercases one could come up with.I'm struggling a bit with this mod_rewrite rule,
It seems like what you want is something like /foo to deliver /foo.htmlexcept if /foo really exists and is a directory, then you would want /foo/index.html to be delivered except if the directory /foo contains a .htaccess, in which case you want the .htaccess-contained rewrite rules to apply except if /foo is a sub-directory of another directory already containing a .htaccess with rewrite rules in it, in which case these should apply too
I may be jesting a bit, but don't you think this is a bit much to ask ?In a case like this, maybe it is the layout of the site that needs to be revisited, or an ad-hoc custom fixup module (mod_perl ?) may be the second choice.
