However, in this context the docs mean specifically the path component — no scheme, no host, no port. "URL-path" (as defined in our own directive-dict.xml) makes this unambiguous, and is consistent with the rest of the mod_rewrite documentation which uses "URL-path" throughout. One assumes that this is what you're reporting here. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
