I got my ISP to install this patch onto htdig, but it doesn't appear to be working. As I see it, there are two possibilities for this state of affairs:

1. They didn't install the patch properly

2. I haven't set the directive properly in the htdig.conf file.

As for (2), the example in documentation was

url_rewrite_rules: (.*)\\?JServSessionIdroot=.* \\1

I'm using

url_rewrite_rules: (.*)\\?PHPSESSID=.* \\1

where my URLs look like

http://myserver.org/mydoc.html?PHPSESSID=5d9486f71bc2ac808658b1066b2dd74a

which looks like it ought to work.

As for (1) - is there a way of testing it? I've run rundig -vvv to see if there is any evidence of the rewriting taking place but I don't know whether I should expect to see it at work here anyway.

Thanks
