Thanks for your comments. I will forward them on to the [email protected] list where the documentation writers hang out. If you have further suggestions, please feel free to join that list or submit them to the apache bug database.
The link that you are looking for is http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/FAQ.html#regex But it is not very clear either. In fact, Apache 1.3 uses the system regex library or the HSregex library, depending on what is available. You can probably get documentation on your system regex library using man egrep or man regexp Joshua. > -----Original Message----- > From: Ronald F.
