Ok,
After my last few patches lacked the necessary gusto to be comitted (due
to my less than perfect English), I have been plugging away on the
rewrite docs, the ones that no one wants to touch. I have noticed a
common theme throughout the exisiting documents that relate mod_rewrite
to voodoo/magic.
In my hacked-up/new versions I have removed all references to this. I
just feel it outsthe frighteners on people, before they really should be
scared.
I guess what I am trying to ask, is, does anyone have any objections this?
Yeah, I do have a objection ... how is Rich going to sell his book if
you make it all easy? ;)
Kidding aside, I don't really like that you're stripping the "soul" of
the original doc. For many people, mod_rewrite is difficult to grasp and
tricking them into thinking that it isn't won't help one bit.
As it is, someone else has already stripped more than enough of the
original warnings and I'd be +1 to keeping the ones that are still there
today.
Sorry, I think the point has been missed here. I had no intention of
pinching Richs' ability to produce a good book.
Nor do I intend to strip the soul of the documents, more rather remove
the references to voodoo and magic.
Believe you me, I of all people, fully appreciate how difficult it is to
grasp mod_rewrite.
I guess I am ust trying to demystify the whole thing.
