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.
