Re: Possible shortcut/symlink entry point

I *did* look at doing it w/ a module... perhaps I still misunderstand something. Rewrite simply rewrites the url, correct? It translates one url into another, then apache handles the new one normally, right? The problem with this scheme is that the link system we use does *not* create urls the server can handle... but rather things like "c:\bret\foo.html\" So what I plan on doing is, given a url, instead of the "dumb" translation apache does, include a simple function call that looks for shortcuts/symlinks and provides the *true* filename.

I have no idea if this is the best way to do it, and am totally open to suggestions. However, I only started looking at apache's source yesterday, and also started learning about the module system yesterday as well. Consequently, I don't have a full grasp of how everything fits together. Please excuse any and all ignorance on my part :)
