To match a file > _starting_ with something you need '^something' I have seen cases of applications that claim to implement regex's properly, but which nonetheless implicitly anchor the pattern to the start of the string even without a leading ^. A cursory search through Apache documentation hasn't turned up anything that conclusively settles the issue in my mind, so I'd like to propose a fairly simple test: try the pattern without the leading backslash. If the problem clears up, then Apache 2 is implicitly anchoring the pattern to the start of the string. Applications that make the above faux pas also tend to anchor the end of the pattern to the end of the string; once you have things working, try ditching the trailing $ and see if the pattern matches for a file that includes but does not end with one of the stated extensions. I'd be very interested in hearing the results of these two experiments. -- Jonathan "Dataweaver" Lang ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
