Hi,
I have a problem with the following RewriteRule causing an infinite loop:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} (first|second|third|fourth)
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ %1/$1 [L,R,NC]
When requesting a URL like
http://firsthost/something
I end up getting something like
http://firsthost/first/first/first/first/first/first/first/first/first/something
and the server returns an error.
When changing the RewriteRule to this:
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ hardcoded/$1 [L,R,NC]
I get
http://firsthost/hardcoded/hardcoded/hardcoded/hardcoded/hardcoded/hardcoded/hardcoded/hardcoded/hardcoded/hardcoded/hardcoded/hardcoded/hardcoded/hardcoded/hardcoded/hardcoded/something
and the same error message
mod_rewrite: maximum number of internal redirects reached
Why is my pattern ^(.+)$ causing an infinite loop here?
This does not happen if the substitution string does not match the pattern
itself, as in
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} (first|second|third|fourth)
RewriteRule ^(something)$ %1/$1 [L,R,NC]
Thanks,
Jan
