http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29576 Content negotitation (MultiViews) occurs before mod_rewrite leading to odd results Summary: Content negotitation (MultiViews) occurs before mod_rewrite leading to odd results Product: Apache httpd-2.0 Version: 2.0.49 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: mod_negotiation AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] If a directory has both MultiViews (possibly inherited from a parent) and RewriteRules, the MultiView lookup is done before the Rewrite. This can result in odd errors. To demonstrate: 1. Create two directories and enable Multiviews in both of them 2. Create a file in each, with the same stem but different extensions (say, A.html and A.shtml). 3. Verify you can access them as /dir1/A and /dir2/A 4. Now put in a RewriteRule on dir1 that redirects requests to dir2. 5. Get a 404 Not found error for "/dir2/A.html" when accessing /dir1/A Here the sequence of events is: /dir1/A -> /dir1/A.html (MultiView) /dir1/A.html -> /dir2/A.html (Rewrite) /dir2/A.html not found I believe it should be: /dir1/A -> /dir2/A (Rewrite) /dir2/A -> /dir2/A.shtml /dir2/A.shtml found --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
