prg: Rewritemap don't work in win32

• Additional Comments From wrowe@apache.org 2002-04-19 18:47 ------- This bug is difficult to address in Apache 1.3.x. Not impossible, but difficult. As guessed, this has never worked in the 1.3 series.

Apache 2.0.x introduced new APIs for determining fully qualified path names. Mod_rewrite in Apache 2.0 was updated in v. 1.84 to accept any rooted path (based on the filesystem convention, e.g. c:/foo for win32, or foo/bar:bleh for Netware.)

http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/httpd-2.0/modules/mappers/mod_rewrite.c.diff?r1=1.83&r2=1.84&diff_format=h

There may also be thread saftey problems with the rewrite cache, introduced in Apache 2.0's v. 1.83, that would need backporting.

Finally, it seems that ap_pstrcat is still being used to merge paths in 1.3 and 2.0. This should be fixed in 2.0 to use apr_filepath_merge, and there was a similar API in 1.3.

So this can be fixed, but someone needs to take the time to write and test the fixes. I'd entertain applying a patch that was well thought out.
