I recently run into a similar problem, the redirection is due to an incorrect regex and the reevaluation of it, or putting it in another way, your redirected string matches your regex again ans gets redirected another time, and so on until it times out. Try being more specific about your regex: ^/([^.]+)/index.html$ With this regex it will only evaluate everything except a dot (avoiding your nasty redirection). Give it a try and let us know :) Alex > > Please excuse me as I'm not very experienced with regular expressions > nor with Cherokee.
