From what I understand after skimming the PCRE man page, this has to be external to the regexp because of the nature of regexp matching. Probably why it was never implemented, because it's extra work. Maybe other things needed more attention so this was put aside, then forgotten about. FYI for those searching for answers, the ^/(?!bar) syntax is referred to as a negative assertion. It has some subtle syntax and can be a bit confusing for the novice PCRE user even in a simple case, which may be many of the admin running Apache. I'm not too familiar with how nice it plays with more complex regular expressions. In the config file, it's difficult if not impossible to specify each negative Match rule for every possible negative Match condition when the negative results may change frequently and at random, yet the positive Match are few and static. These cases seem to be very common. If a regexp does not match the right answer, tell me it's the wrong answer. I won't sit and try to pre-define every conceivable wrong answer in the universe, when there are maybe 3-4 right answers that I care about. That is computationally wasteful and redundant. LocationMatch is part of the core. What if I don't want to use mod_rewrite for every tiny thing that isn't properly implemented in the core? I want to keep the server lean. It's a shame to have to include another module to do something that LocationMatch (from the view of a sysadmin) should be able to handle within it's own syntax. It's 95% there already when the PCRE returns and finds that there was no match. The PCRE function returns -1? So if there's a ! negation character, check for -1 return, and if so valued, perform the action specified. I'd have to look into the code and research more to see if there were any patches or to generate one. I'm surprised that in all this time there have been no patches. Maybe it's uglier than I think in there. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The syntax is described and explained in perldoc perlre. (which is online at perldoc.com). No need to duplicate that manual stuff within the apache docs.

However regexp is a nebulous term, and I was unable to find anything specific in the documentation concerning exactly what regexp syntax was supported... (although from looking at the source tree it seems pcre is used, in which case it seems negation would be extraordinarily easy) The rewriterule while one means of a workaround, does not emulate the desired behavior. I am trying to proxypass from somehost such that the content appears to come from this host. (I'm actually proxying an apache 1.3 server bound to 127.0.0.1). I did think of workaround, which I have not tests, that is more of a hack and hideous. /[^b][^a][^r] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I don't believe that the LocationMatch/DirectoryMatch/FilesMatch sections
allow negatives. The ! syntax is certainly not documented anywhere.
I guess we could consider this bug report a request for such ability. I have
seen it requested elsewhere, and it shouldn't be that difficult to provide.
As far as your particular problem, it should be easy to get around using
something
like
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/bar
RewriteRule / http://somehost/ [P]
