           Summary: mod_rewrite uses physical path if one exists in Linux
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.0.54
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: mod_rewrite
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: krishna@changepond.com


mod_rewrite seems to use the physical path if it exists instead of appending 
the document root to the rewritten URI.

To simulate:

Consider this rewrite rule

RewriteRule     ^/Images/(.*)   /lib/Images/$1

Even if you have a lib/Images uder your Docroot, the path is resolved to the 
physical path of /lib/Images/ and image serving fails.

192.168.50.209 - - [24/May/2006:11:04:11 +051800] [192.168.50.9/sid#81168c0]
[rid#81afac8/initial] (2) local path result: /lib/Images/logo.jpg
192.168.50.209 - - [24/May/2006:11:04:11 +051800] [192.168.50.9/sid#81168c0]
[rid#81afac8/initial] (1) go-ahead with /lib/Images/logo.jpg [OK]

This should actually be <docroot>/lib/Images/logo.jpg

Incidentally, the same Rewrite rule works fine in Windows. This has probably to 
do with the non-existance of /lib physical path in the Windows environment

This is not a bug, this is intention so that mod_rewrite can act in per-serever
context like an alias. To avoid such a filename-translation (and to keep the
result as an URL-path), you must use the PT-Flag.

That's how mod_rewrite is expected to work.

That's not the point.  What Robert meant is that RewriteRule can act as an Alias
itself, providing access to content outside the documentroot.  The way this
feature is handled (silently guessing about the users intentions based on the
contents of the filesystem) is a little tricky, but it is not going to change at
this point.

Thank you for the update. I just went through the source and saw the notice 
that describes this. But, I was just wondering whether it is not possible to 
check whether any such Alias exists and if not prefix the URI with DocumentRoot.

As a workaround having PT on the rewrite rule makes it work fine.

RewriteRule     ^/Images/(.*)   /lib/Images/$1 [PT]
