Then alter your handler's code to parse $r->uri and extract
everything after $r->location. (or you can use $r->path_info, if the
/etexts/id/ actually exists in your document root). That'll give you
the same thing that rewrite is currently stuffing into your id
argument.
Never use path_info unless you are very sure it is what you want.
Path_info is made for CGI scripts where $r->filename points to the
file
containing the script....
substr($r->uri, length $r->location) is almost always what you need.
These two things represent a very elegant solution that I have already
implemented. Cool. Thanks!
