Bug #: 52000
Summary: RewriteRule documentation unclear/misleading about
substitution
Product: Apache httpd-2
Version: 2.3-HEAD
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Documentation
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
The description of RewriteRule at
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/en/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewriterule
contains:
The URL is completely replaced by the Substitution and the rewriting process
continues until all rules have been applied, or it is explicitly terminated by
a L flag, or other flag which implies immediate termination, such as END or F.
This assumes that rules operate on URL-s. In reality, as the section
explains earlier, it may operate on relative filesystem paths or on URL-paths:
What is matched?
In VirtualHost context, The Pattern will initially be matched against the part
of the URL after the hostname and port, and before the query string (e.g.
"/app1/index.html").
In Directory and htaccess context, the Pattern will initially be matched
against the filesystem path, after removing the prefix that lead the server to
the current RewriteRule (e.g. "app1/index.html" or "index.html" depending on
where the directives are defined).
Note that something is missing in "or other flag" (maybe "or another flag").
