How can I write an .htaccess that's path-independent if I like to exclude
certain files in that directory, such as index.html? So far, I've been
doing:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/services/tictoclookup/standalone/index.html
To avoid running my script for index.html. How would I do that? (Hint: the
use of SERVER variables on the right-hand side in the CondPattern of a
RewriteCond is not allowed, but some trickery may be possible, according to
http://www.issociate.de/board/post/495372/Server-Variables_in_CondPattern_of_RewriteCond_directive.html)
If you're not dealing with further subdirectories, where the index.html
file should _not_ be exempted it's easy -- just leave out the path,
and anchor it to the end of the string:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/index.html$
(this wouldn't work if 'index.html' if PATH_INFO or QUERY_STRING is sent,
but then just don't anchor it, or give it a more complex regex to deal
with the alternate forms)
