It has not been applied.

Ah, thank you very much. I apologize, I searched a little too fast and failed
to realize httpd had 2 PATH_INFOs.

Thanks

Hum, if that is the case, then "server variables" and "Server-Variables" have
different meanings, since the latter includes variables like REMOTE_HOST
(according to RewriteCond).

Hum. httpd has 2 senses for "environment variables". Would that be true of both
senses?

If "server variables" and "Server-Variables" have different meanings, I indeed
strongly recommend to define "server variables" somewhere.
