This doesn't seem like it'd work quite like you describe. The Apache docs say the Include directive uses "shell-style" wildcard matching using fnmatch.[1] Documentation i've found on the web for fnmatch suggests that you'd want a '!' rather than a '^'.[2][3] That said, i wouldn't want to assume that it *doesn't* work like you describe; maybe Apache's docs aren't quite accurate, or maybe i'm misinterpreting them... Oh, here we go -- it *is* documented deep in the bowels of APR. Apache uses apr_fnmatch [4], which is documented in apr_fnmatch.h[5] and apparently supports both '!' and '^'. In summary, your directive is just fine, but rather than cancelling this message, i figure i might as well send it along to give everyone a whole pile of links to docs.
