Please their documentation for what they are good for: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/howto/htaccess.html Finally, I fail to see why you're even using rewrite for that thing? You could just name your files .html, make them executable. Options +ExecCGI would only pick up those that are exectuable. Of course that's not "transparent" but if you're looking for transparency, why not just *drop* .html *and* .pl from the *Request* and have Options +MultiViews take care of serving the right file? See my last mail to users@ which, too, suggests avoiding mod_rewrite:) http://www.mail-archive.com/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg46255.html i -- Igor GaliÄ Tel: +43 (0) 664 886 22 883 Mail: i.galic@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx URL: http://brainsware.org/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
