Trying to build a similar request than A9's. - rewrite new..

Hi,
I put it in the VirtualHost content. It worked!
But know when I call other scripts in the cgi-bin, instead of calling
them, it calls the search.cgi.
Is there any way to avoit rewrite to reconstruct sentences like
myhost.com/cgi-bin?
Cordially,
Strom

As in any %nn comes as we hooped for? Great!

Yep, it interferes in any and all requests. It should even temper a request
for index.html

Sure, just add above the RewriteRule
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(cgi-bin|sample|sample2)/
This will keep the RewriteRule from changing requests involving either of
the three folders listed.

Adding
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
instead, should keep the rule from acting on any request for an existing
file or folder.

However, performance wise it might be better to reserve a foldername, like
'lookingfor', for request to be altered by just changing the rule a little:
RewriteRule /lookingfor/(.*) /search\.cgi?query=${decode:$1}
[QSA]
