[users@httpd] RewriteRule with .flv extension
I'm dealing with something odd and I can't figure out what to make of
it - I have the following rewrite rule:
RewriteRule
^([0-9]+)/([a-z0-9]+)/get_flash\.php$ /get_file.php?id=$1&flash=1&key=$2
[L]
then a URL liks this /123/2313412sdfsdf/get_flash.php works fine.
BUT if I change my rule to this (swapping .php for .flv):
RewriteRule
^([0-9]+)/([a-z0-9]+)/get_flash\.flv$ /get_file.php?id=$1&flash=1&key=$2
[L]
a URL like this: /123/2313412sdfsdf/get_flash.flv does NOT work.
I turned on the rewrite log and for the .flv the URI it's checking is
always ''. For .php it's 123/2313412sdfsdf/get_flash.php. If I
clear the rewrite log and run the .flv URL/Rewrite 2313412sdfsdf is
not even in the rewrite log, but if I change to .php in Rewrite and
run the .php URL, 2313412sdfsdf is in the log - I don't get why a
simple extension change causes this. "flv" is not in the apache conf
directory anywhere.
Any suggestions? I'm stumped and need a .flv URL extension for a
dumb flash app to work.....
Apache 2.2.3-4+etch6
Thanks,
Josh

Sorry, I guess by "does not work" I mean that it doesn't even match
the URL. No change with PT. If I watch the rewrite log (at debug
level 3) it doesn't even put the path in the URI it's trying to match
against.
I don't know why but I played around and changed the path around a
little and it worked. :/

Define "does not work". Do you get a 404? If it's not a 404, but you
just don't get the content you expect, it could be that apache is not
passing it to PHP to be processed. Try a [PT] flag (pass-through) on
the rewrite so the URL gets processed by the rest of the configuration
(e.g., the content-handler is determined as normal).
