The patch is very easy, but I am afraid it might not be suitable to backport to 2.2.x. I struggled with finding some fancy PCRE feature that would make this work as most people expect it to -- \Z or negative lookahead, but AFAICT they all fail to simulate the $ due to the PCRE flag being passed. I started a thread on d...@httpd.apache.org to give people a chance to complain that DirectoryMatch should behave the way it does, but it seems so limiting. I will likely commit a fix to trunk tomorrow morning. -- Eric Covener cove...@gmail.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
