[users@httpd] mod_rewrite syntax question
I have the following mod_rewrite directives in a .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/index\.php.*
RewriteRule ^(.+) - [L]
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(.*)$
#RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9]+)/?$ index.php?request=$1
[T=application/x-httpd-php,L]
RewriteRule ^(.+)/?$ index.php?request=$1 [T=application/x-httpd-php,L]
it works, the result is the ability to use a url like
www.domain.com/value/value/ and have it be rewritten as
www.domain.com/index.php?request=value/value
the problem is that I can't use a url like www.domain.com/value/value -
without the trailing slash I get a 404 error. If I take the 6th line:
RewriteRule ^(.+)/?$ index.php?request=$1 [T=application/x-httpd-php,L]
and remove the question mark like so:
RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ index.php?request=$1 [T=application/x-httpd-php,L]
I can use urls without trailing slashes, but then my style sheets and
images don't resolve. I'm still a bit of a novice with the mod_rewrite
regex syntax, and am a bit baffled by this. Any advice is appreciated.

I meant take the specific case where you need to add the trailing slash
and do a redirect for that. Leave the other cases the same. (It makes no
sense to change the content-type on a redirect.)

thanks for the reply,
so I tried this and it didn't work, is there another way to use the R flag?
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/index\.php.*
RewriteRule ^(.+) - [L]
RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ index.php?request=$1 [T=application/x-httpd-php,R,L]
thanks for your time,
Eben

I don't precisely understand the details of your problem, but it appears
the basics are: you want to be able to use a URL without a trailing slash,
but you need the trailing slash to make relative references work.
The standard solution to this is to do an external redirect ([R] flag to
rewriterule) to send the client from the bad url to the good url.
