A leading path. In other words, a prefix. Apologies and thanks. In fact: In Directory and htaccess context, the Pattern will initially be matched against the filesystem path, after removing the prefix that led the server to the current RewriteRule (e.g. "app1/index.html" or "index.html" depending on where the directives are defined). Which means the string removed is in fact a directory-path, and the parenthesis is not just misleading but wrong. I apologize, since this is the result of ticket #53152. It remains that most people will not consider "/usr/local/apache/htdocs/path/to/" as a prefix in "/usr/local/apache/htdocs/path/to/". -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: docs-unsubscr...@httpd.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: docs-h...@httpd.apache.org
