However, the corporation I'm dealing with doesn't seem to mind with rewriting urls per se, it's just that it happens this particular hickup is a sideeffect of their rules and they have no policy of changing httpd conf just for one of their thousand domains just for one particular account (unless they buy a server). So, I was wondering if there's a way .htaccess-side only to just not go into an infinite loop. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
