Summary: Misleading information in rewriteguide.html
Product: Apache httpd-2
Version: 2.3-HEAD
Platform: Other
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Documentation
AssignedTo: [email protected]

Regarding this page: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/misc/rewriteguide.html
The section marked "Extended Redirection" is quite misleading. It describes a
roundabout, self-described kludge, which I believe is totally unnecessary. I
quote:
> Usually the Apache kernels URL escape function also escapes anchors, i.e. URLs
> like "url#anchor". You cannot use this directly on redirects with mod_rewrite
> because the uri_escape() function of Apache would also escape the hash
> character. How can we redirect to such a URL?
> Solution:
> We have to use a kludge by the use of a NPH-CGI script which does the
> redirect itself.
I achieved the desired effect by simply adding [NE] to a rewrite rule.
This removes the need for any separate script to do the forwarding.
The solution in the documentation seems very strange.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
