OK, so I got this figured out, and thought I'd post it here for
posterity.
Rather than putting the cookie rule in a separate .htaccess file in
the demo directory, I put them both in the root:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^demo.example.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/demo/
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} phn_demo=([^;]+)
RewriteRule (.*) /demo/%1/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^demo.example.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/demo/
RewriteRule (.*) /demo/$1
It works wonderfully. I just realized I should probably remove the $1
from the second rule, though, as I don't want them going anywhere or
getting 404s if they don't have a cookie. Damned cool voodo.
