http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/Perfect_number seems to work fine for me.

http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki.cgi?Perfect_number also seems to work fine for me.

So for pages that already exist, the rewriting seems to be fine.

Your particular example is interesting, because there is not literally a page called "Foo". For this, I get different results for the two, and I don't know off the top of my head why that should be. But you're write, it is something anomolous with the mod_rewrite rules.

My apologies if this is redundant, I don't follow this mailing list.

As of the moment of my typing, addresses of the form:

http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foo

give a 404 error. Since every link in ths system is of this form, that means things are broken. :-(

However, address of the form

http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki.cgi?Foo

work.

Has there been a recent httpd rules change ?

Thanks, -- Pat
