+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #214571 +++ For certain rewrite rules this will lead to an endless loop. In other cases the rewrite will "only" produce a bad result and cause pages not found errors. I could attach my own example, but I suppose the examples in the bugreports at apache.org (http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38642 and http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=33022) should be self explanatory. Issue also exists for RHEL 3. If you need a separate bug report for RHEL 3 please clone this one. --- Additional comment from jorton on 2009-08-14 07:55:24 EDT --- This behaviour was made possible with the upstream addition of the DPI|DiscardPathInfo flag in 2.2.12, so we can backport that.
