A very impressive thread, my 2 bits of mod_rewrite knowledge are not worth adding to it, except to reiterate what others have said, read the apache documentation [httpd.apache.org].

A minor aside, some time ago as I was first tackling mod_rewrite, and thought I'd discovered a minor bug, (can't remember what it was, except that it was a bug in my logic), total naivety, I sent the good man Ralf S. Engelschall an email, only to get a "Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender". The reason being <sigh>Mr Engelschall was getting to much spam</sigh>.

P.S.
I liked andreasfriedrich's "If you care about freedom be permissive, if you are paranoid be restrictive."

And a tiny bit of irony, including self irony, the definition of an expert: x is an uncertain quantity and spurt is a drip under pressure ;-).

Another post closer to being a "preferred member".
