Bug ID: 60024
Summary: RewriteRule documentation: misleading sentence about
"per-directory prefix"
Product: Apache httpd-2
Version: 2.5-HEAD
Hardware: All
URL: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/en/mod/mod_rewrite.
html#rewriterule
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: trivial
Priority: P2
Component: Documentation
Assignee: docs@httpd.apache.org
Reporter: chea...@gmail.com
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/en/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewriterule
contains:
When using the rewrite engine in .htaccess files the per-directory prefix (that
is, the URI path that leads to the directory containing this .htaccess file) is
removed for the RewriteRule pattern matching and added after any relative (not
starting with a slash or protocol name) substitution encounters the end of a
rule set.
While the core message is correct, this implies that a single URI path leads to
the directory containing a .htaccess file. As explained in ticket #53152, this
is not necessarily the case (previously, this error was direct, but after a
reformulation, it is now merely implied).
Note that "per-directory prefix" is apparently not a term defined anywhere. If
this has no specific meaning, in my opinion it would be clearer to simply call
this a "directory path". A URI path comprises both a "directory path" and a
filename. I do not see how this "per-directory prefix" is more a prefix than
the filename is a suffix. A URI path without that "prefix" is not a URI path.
