yep.. but thats true, and it isnt RFC compliant, and no one should be using it in a perfect world. but the problem is that it is a common config mistake, and I'm thinking there are 1000's of sites that are working hapilly on 1.3.23, that aren't going to work on 1.3.24 I don't think we should be forcing people into RFC compliance like this. at the very least this should be done in post-config not at runtime. so I'm -0.9 on it we should be opening the bag of cats. If you can explain to me what the bag is I'll be happy to open it. BTW.. looking at mod-rewrite it seems to be doing location redirects on r->filename and they appear to be ok.. so I'm still not sure what is going on here to make mod_alias's redirects not work. > >>is it possible to prefix the r->hostname to the relative URI instead? >> > > Then you get into that whole UseCanonicalName bag of cats. >
