This seems really close to what .vuh files do in OpenACS... unless I'm mistaken. Maybe a simple/quick fix is to write a quick script to just parse all the .htaccess rewrite commands into simple .vuh files? Or is there more to this I'm missing? Probably so huh?! t On Friday, August 1, 2003,

I really like this idea. Compiling a how to do this apache thing using AOLserver tools would go a long way.
