No! This breaks clearly documented behavior. url.rewrite-if-not-file checks for regular file, not for directories.

Quoting from https://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/lighttpd/wiki/Docs_ModRewrite:

url.rewrite-[repeat-]if-not-file

New: For the 1.4.x branch as of 1.4.24 or r2647 from svn:

Rewrites a set of URLs internally in the webserver BEFORE they are handled and checks that files do not exist.

Take examples from above, this is to mimic Apache´s "!-f" RewriteRule. Please note this does not work for directories, pipes, sockets or alike.

Where do I want to use this? Maybe with e.g. Drupal backend, where mod_magnet (has an Apache´s -f and -d solution) might not be handy or simply "too much" for just this kind of rewrites. This closes feature request #985.

Just for the record: I'm not saying a feature request for a similar rewrite action checking for directories would be wrong; although I see some challenges in defining the execution order of multiple rewrite-if-not{file,directory,exists,...} options.
