mod_rewrite question

Let's say I've got a site for which I want to do rewriting for all
requests to a particular subdirectory and everything beneath it. For
sake of example, we'll use "mydir" as the name of the directory.
Further, I need the rewrite condition to be case-insensitive so that
the condition does catch someone doing http://mysite.com/MyDir and
other variations.

I tried this, but it doesn't seem to be working correctly. That is,
it works for http://mysite.com/mydir but I get a 404 for http://mysite.com/MyDir

RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}mydir%{REQUEST_FILENAME} [NC]

Any suggestions?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Sean

Have you read the manual pages for rewrite, the condition you use
doesnt appear to be "standard",
RewriteCond ^/mydir [NC]
would be.

ReWriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/mydir [NC]
