Thanks - I thought I was about there - but the confirmation is appreciated. One more item - since I'm particularly concerned about porting from Apache. While I'm sure Apache has more than one mode - can you tell me if the "typical" operation, or at least what would be the result of the .htaccess file I posted originally (and that was the COMPLETE file!)? Reading the Apache docs I'm not clear if it should be treated as an "internal" or "external" rewrite. -- Daniel _______________________________________________ Cherokee mailing list [email protected] http://lists.octality.com/listinfo/cherokee
