RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]I cannot find any documentation for it. Can you point me to it.

Greets --A number of users have reported issues using the Dojo package shipped with 1.6.0. Originally, my thought was that we had a dirty install. However, a couple of comments tipped me off to the real culprit: the RewriteRule recommended in our Zend_Controller QuickStart and the one recommended in the QuickStart guide. First, some background. The "recommended" RewriteRules look like the following: RewriteEngine on RewriteRule !\.(js|ico|gif|jpg|png|css)$ index.php This rule essentially says, "unless you're an image, CSS file, or _javascript_ file, I'm going to route you to the front controller." Many of Dojo's dijits utilize templates when creating widgets, and the content is then inserted to the DOM. In a release or custom build of Dojo, all templates are interred into the source -- meaning that they are embedded in the _javascript_. In a source build, however, these templates are in separate files -- HTML files. If you look carefully at the RewriteRule above, HTML files are not part of it. What this means is that when a request is made to such a file, it's processed incorrectly, and the dijit is not able to build its DOM nodes correctly -- which leads to the errors users were reporting. Fortunately, there is a solution: a better rewrite rule. The one presented below has been circulating around in a variety of places, and was in fact the reason I never saw the reported issues myself. Instead of relying on the file extension to determine whether or not to rewrite, it relies on file presence: RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L] RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L] In essence, what this rule is saying is, "if the requested resource is not a valid symbolic link, file, or directory, rewrite to the front controller; otherwise, serve it." This rewrite rule solves the problem of being unable to grab the source templates, thus allowing the shipped Dojo to work correctly. It will also jcontinue to work when you create a custom build. I will be updating the Zend_Controller documentation, and also the QuickStart, to reflect this.
