DO NOT REPLY [Bug 52175] New: mod_rewrite Technical Details (request phases) misleading about URL to filename and filename to URL translations (RewriteBase)

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=52175

             Bug #: 52175
           Summary: mod_rewrite Technical Details (request phases)
                    misleading about URL to filename and filename to URL
                    translations (RewriteBase)
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.3-HEAD
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Documentation
        AssignedTo: docs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: chealer@gmail.com
    Classification: Unclassified


http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/en/rewrite/tech.html#InternalAPI contains:

Because of this, mod_rewrite temporarily translates the filename back into a
URL, by stripping off directory path before appling the rules. (See the
RewriteBase directive to see how you can further manipulate how this is
handled.)

RewriteBase does not control the stripping of directory paths, it controls (in
per-directory context) the conversion of a partial URL to an actual URL after
rules were applied.

By the way, note typo "appling".

yes, that association to the per-dir strip is bogus.   fixed in trunk rev
r1201571

Thanks, that makes a lot more sense.
A few issues:
The prefix is *pre*pended, not appended.
Typo "substution"
There is a stray parenthesis at the end of
In per-directory context (i.e., within .htaccess files and Directory blocks),
these rules are being applied after a URL has already been translated to a
filename. Because of this, mod_rewrite temporarily translates the filename back
into a URL, by stripping off the directory path (including a trailing slash)
before applying the rules. )

Finally, the previous sentence is confusing. Simply stripping a filename does
not translate to a URL, it starts the translation. It's just a formulation
issue.

Thank you Eric. Another issue: in "with the current directories path",
"directories" should read "directory's".
