Yes, the 2nd argument to RewriteRule is actually a filesystem path and
not a URL -- rewrite helps you out sometimes when you use the latter.
Thanks for the help!!
Ok I'm encouraged that it's possible, but my example resolves to /
~user/public_html/cgi-bin/, not /~user/cgi-bin/, which is what I want,
and what it sounds like you're saying it should do, so how do I get
this filesystem behavior?
With the default conf, directory trees are explicitly allowed to be
served via "order" and "allow", so whatever you rewrite to will to
have a Directory stanza that allows access.
I'm not sure what this means.
