I checked the code and the doc, and you are perfectly right. The L is required - at least it would be a good idea to include it systematically unless you really want additional rewriting to take place. I guess I have never been in a situation where subsequent rewrite rules have matched the redirection URL.
I am also a bigger customer of the [P] flag that breaks off evaluation of subsequent rewrite rules (this time I did check the code). -ascs -----Original Message----- From: Brian Candler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 19, 2005 2:32 PM To: Axel-Stéphane SMORGRAV Cc: users@httpd.apache.org Subject: Re: [EMAIL PROTECTED] RewriteMap and sending more then 1 var On Thu, Aug 18, 2005 at 04:06:51PM +0200, Axel-Stphane SMORGRAV wrote: > As an aside, the [L] ( as in [R,L] ) is not necessary either since if > the rewrite rule condition triggers, the redirect will be immediate > and no more rewrite rules will be evaluated. Warning: what you have written there contradicts the documentation [for Apache 1.3 anyway] http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_rewrite.html#RewriteRule says: "remember that this flag itself only prefixes the URL with http://thishost[:thisport]/, rewriting continues. Usually you also want to stop and do the redirection immediately. To stop the rewriting you also have to provide the 'L' flag." So either you have misunderstood, or the documentation is incorrect.
