Joshua -
I have one quick follow-up question, if you don't mind. I've
implemented the rules as shown below and have been watching the logs
and I notice that the /landingpage.cfm pattern is always being engaged
for /landingpage.cfm (even though I'm never calling that page
directly). Does the redirection itself cause the rewrite rules to be
executed?
Here is what I have:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteLog /var/log/httpd/rewrite_log
RewriteLogLevel 3
RewriteRule ^/bfg - [L]
RewriteRule ^/se - [L]
RewriteRule ^/mod/modules/foo - [L]
RewriteRule ^/landingpage.cfm - [L]
RewriteRule ^/(.*)
/landingpage.cfm?uri=%{REQUEST_URI} [QSA,PT]
Thanks again.

Sorry, by CGI variables, I meant the webserver variables. Stored in
the CGI scope by ColdFusion and in the SERVER[] scope in PHP, if that
helps. Variables like SCRIPT_NAME, HTTP_REFERER, etc.
I tried your sample code against several use cases and it does
everything our current module does and more. I still have to test the
webserver variables to know whether I have to pass the URL in the
query string, but I think that should be a formality.
Thanks again for all of your help. Without it, this effort would have
taken significantly longer than it did. I appreciate that.
