The rules work for me and others. Your suggested rules work, I'm sure,
but they make me cringe ("Ugh!") -- especially the
%{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} bit instead of %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.
The current rules I'm suggesting are developed to work the best way and
work in nearly all configuration situations.
%{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} comes out of an issue with
%{REQUEST_FILENAME}. One day I discovered a user who had some unexpected
when they tried to configure their root short urls. It turns out that when
rewrite rules are placed directly into a <VirtualHost> block
%{REQUEST_FILENAME} is empty. Which leads to bugs in the rewrite rules. So
it was replaced with %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} which ends up with
pretty much the same value but is never blank.
Can't we all be friends?
