>Description:
A Simple rewrite rule. With this rule in place, .htaccess files do not work.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^/~(.*)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^/cgi-bin/(.*)$
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://welcome.golden.net/$1 [R,L]
Tried diabling rewrite engine -- htaccess works.
Enabled engine, no rules -- htaccess works.
Plop in the above rule -- htaccess immediatly returns a 401 error.
Tried IE5 vs Communicator -- no diff.
here is a level 5 rewrite snippit:
