Maybe installing a transhandler would help PerlTransHandler Apache::OK But this is just a stab in the dark really - Perrin
RE: Multiple Location directives question
Answering my own question, I stupidly forgot that I had a TransHandler up above mucking my URLs before the Location directives got a chance to try to match So my /foo location block was never seeing a /foo URL Still, I'm glad to see that the old system of post to a public list and then immediately find your dumb error still works like a charm :) Well, my response has just left the building, and the only thing I can think of right now (about my hasty response) is something I once saw on FidoNet: Open mouth, insert foot, echo internationally sigh L8r, Rob #!/usr/bin/perl -w use Disclaimer qw/:standard/;
