mod_rewrite help

Hello list!

I know basic mod_rewrite, not much, but enough to create basic rules.

Now I need to create a rule that can handle this situation:
* Work under the root (/) folder
* Don't do anything under the /secure/ folder
* Don't do anything with *.js, *.jpg
* Rewrite everything else to index.php?bad_request=%URL%

Any tips, hint, solutions? :-)

Thanks!

Regards
Lars

this is probably close:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/secure/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ! \.(js|jpg)$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !bad_request
RewriteRule (.*) /index.php?bad_request=3D$1

"If it doesn't begin with /secure, end in js/jpg, or is already
rewritten as a bad request, rewrite it."

Re: mod_rewrite help

Wow, that was a fast answer :)

I tried it, and got "RewriteCond: bad flag delimiters" and 500 error.
Saw that there was an extra space in the "RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !
\.(js|jpg)$" rule, so changed it to "RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}
!\.(js|jpg)$".
Got rid of the 500 error, but now the rule didnt do anything at all..

Is there anything obvious i'm missing here?

Thanks

Lars
