L Last Rule Stop the rewriting process here and don't apply any more rewriting rules. This corresponds to the Perl last command or the break command from the C language. Use this flag to prevent the currently rewritten URL from being rewritten further by following rules. For example, use it to rewrite the root-path URL ('/') to a real one, e.g., '/e/www/'. R[=code] Redirect to new URL, with optional code (see below). Prefix Substitution with http://thishost[:thisport]/ (which makes the new URL a URI) to force a external redirection. If no code is given a HTTP response of 302 (MOVED TEMPORARILY) is used. If you want to use other response codes in the range 300-400 just specify them as a number or use one of the following symbolic names: temp (default), permanent, seeother. Use it for rules which should canonicalize the URL and give it back to the client, e.g., translate ``/~'' into ``/u/'' or always append a slash to /u/user, etc. From: aparna aryan [mailto:aparnapu...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, January 07, 2011 4:43 AM To: users@httpd.apache.org; jo...@sanguis.xs4all.nl Subject: Re: [us...@httpd] Regarding the redirect rules Thanks a lot Joost, Can u please explain what does "[R,L]" mean too?
