RewriteRule with a dot in URL

[Thierry Kennes <tp...@gmail.com>]

Hi there,
I completely new in Apache config and all that stuff.
I've got a wiki (for example : http://wiki.thierrykennes.com)
and when I want to create a page Test.com
so that it looks like this : http://wiki.thierrykennes.com/Test.com, it
doesn't work because of the dot.

I was told to look on .htaccess about "RewriteRule" and I thought of adding
somethg like that :
RewriteRule (.*)\.(.*)$ substitution
Is my pattern right ? and also what can I put instead of "substitution" ?

Thanks a lot for your further reply.

ps: and sorry for my bad english :)

Uh, the main website would show some definitive examples that you could
use. Since apparently google didn't accept your "apache rewriterule"
query, I have a result :

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html

(and yes, the periods in the rules act as an "any character" - it's a
regular expression - so you do have to precede it with a backslash - and
there are examples of that in the webserver documentation).

A more appropriate list for questions is the httpd-users list rather
than the module developers list.
