Regular expressions and Redirectmatch question...

[Matt Goebel <go...@emunix.emich.edu>]

Hello,

  The following lines should, and appear to do the same thing, redirect
any references to a subtree of the htdocs directory.  The problem is 
that if I set up the first set of redirects like the second one, they
fail to redirect at all.  Am I missing something obvious here?

RedirectMatch permanent ^/public/hperd/dance(/)?$ http://www.emich.edu/coe/
RedirectMatch permanent ^/public/hperd/dance/.*$ http://www.emich.edu/coe/

RedirectMatch permanent ^/public/labs$  http://www.labs.emich.edu/
RedirectMatch permanent ^/public/labs/(.*)?$ http://www.labs.emich.edu/

The setup which didn't work at all :

RedirectMatch permanent ^/public/hperd/dance$ http://www.emich.edu/coe/
RedirectMatch permanent ^/public/hperd/dance/(.*)?$ http://www.emich.edu/coe/

Thanks for any help,
Mattias
