Re: [users@httpd] RewriteCond help needed

[klute <so...@yahoo.com>]

Joshua,

Thanks a lot. Actually .php was given as an example,
the search will most likely be directed to a java
servlet.

Can you point me to any examples of how to set a bunch
of ENV variables based on URL. Hopefully, it won't be
that ugly (the complex part I don't mind)

Thanks a lot,
James
