Hi there,
got it figured out. Here's my .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# break after this rule to avoid firing the second rule for static files
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/static/(.*)$ /applications/$1/static/$2 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/cgihandler\.py/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/applications/([^/]+)/static/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /cgihandler.py/$1
ScriptAlias and AliasMatch only work in httpd.conf, so putting these in
.htaccess would not work. The real magic - i.e. the difference from my
earlier attempts - probably is "RewriteBase /" and not starting the
RewriteRule patterns with /.
The first rewrite rule has the benefit of not routing static file requests
through cgihandler.py. Instead, these requests are served by Apache which
makes a huge difference in load times for me. It's also easier to add
far-future expires headers this way, as web2py only does that for files
with version strings in their name (?).
Hope that helps someone.
Kind regards,
Michael
