Hi all,
I am currently having a torrid time trying to debug a mod_rewrite
problem, and my efforts have been thwarted by:
- mod_rewrite for some reason has it's own logging subsystem,
instead of using the standard httpd logging.
- mod_rewrite doesn't seem to support the concept of directive
inheritance, so the moment you specify "RewriteEngine on", any
inherited config - including your RewriteLog directive - gets blown
out the window.
What I propose is that we deprecate the RewriteLog directive, and
replace all logging functionality in mod_rewrite with standard httpd
logging.
Would v2.4 be an acceptable time to introduce something like this?
That would be delightful.
Many things in mod_rewrite presumably seemed like a good idea at the
time, but with ten years perspective make me wonder what Ralf was
thinking.
