            Bug ID: 70093
           Summary: RewriteCond Directive: TestString confusingly
                    specified in 2 lists
           Product: Apache httpd-2

  Target Milestone: ---

The RewriteCond Directive section of the mod_rewrite reference documents wh=
ich
forms its first argument. The first list mention 4 different forms, includi=
ng
Server variables. But confusingly, that list is not exhaustive. The section
reads:
> [=E2=80=A6]
>=20
> [=E2=80=A6]
>=20
> TestString is a string which can contain the following expanded construct=
s in addition to plain text:
> [Unordered list of 4 items]
>=20
> [=E2=80=A6]
>=20
> Other things you should be aware of:
> [Ordered lists of 6 items]
>=20
> [=E2=80=A6=E2=80=A6=E2=80=A6]
The 5 last elements of the ordered list are also forms TestString can take.=
 I
see no reason why these would be in a different list, and recommend merging
these into the unordered list.
