== mod_rewrite ==
[http://www.lighttpd.net/documentation/rewrite.html mod_rewrite] is more trickier as the idea how it is handled is completly different.
First of all we always match on the full relative request-uri that is submitted by the user. That means that we are always using the [QSA] flag from mod_rewrite in Apache.
This is example is based on a problem taken from http://dir.onlinesearch.ws/ sent in by dbird@freenode. (thanks to dbird@freenode)
{{{
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /installdir/ /instadir/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
# Fix trailing slash problem
RewriteRule ^(.+[^/])$ $1/ [R,L]
# Do not try to treat the following resources as parameters to index.php
RewriteRule ^index.php.*$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^dmoz.css$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^admin[/]?.*$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^img[/]?.*$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^[/]{0,}(.*)$ index.php?area=browse&cat=$1 [QSA,L]
}}}
These rewrites want to rewrite everything that is not the index.php, dmoz.css, admin-interface or something from the image-directory to a parameter of the index.php page. The base directory for this match is ''/installdir/''
{{{
## for all URLs in /instadir/ that are not index.php, dmoz.css, admin or img, do ...
$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/installdir/(?!index.php|dmoz.css|admin|img)" "^/instadir/(?!index.php|dmoz.css|admin|img)" {
url.rewrite = ( "^/installdir/(.*)" "^/instadir/(.*)" => "/installdir/index.php?area=browse&cat=$1") "/instadir/index.php?area=browse&cat=$1")
}
}}}
The conditional is using some from regex-magic called [http://perlpod.com/5.9.1/pod/perlre.html#Extended%20Patterns zero-width negative look-ahead assertion] and is something from the advanced advance chapters of your [http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/regex/ regex book]. book.
