[users@httpd] RewriteRule Blind to Parent Directories
RewriteRule is Blind to Parent Directories.
So if I have:
<Directory mywebsite.com/dir1/dir2/dir3/dir4/>
RewriteRule (.*) mywebsite.com/dir1/index?$1
</directory>
And the url entered is:
mywebsite.com/dir1/dir2/dir3/dir4/dir5/test
It will get redirected to:
mywebsite.com/dir1/index?dir5/test
Instead of:
mywebsite.com/dir1/index?dir1/dir2/dir3/dir4/dir5/test
Is there a way to use RewriteRule without being blind to parent directories?
I know that I could put this in <Directory mywebsite.com> to make it work.
Can {REQUEST_URI} be fed into RewriteRule to use that as data to be processed?
Like filtering {REQUEST_URI} through (.*)(/dir3)(.*) to redirect to $1$3

I'd avoid <Directory> and relative substitutions if you want it to be intuitive.
Another option is:
