[plug] Apache Rewrite Rule

[Jason Nicholls]

Hey Leon,

Did you get this sorted out?

I don't think you need the QSA flag as you're not replacing the query
string. Here's an alternative you can try with your cond commented out just
in case.

RewriteEngine On
# RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/water/dispatch.cgi/.*
RewriteRule ^/water/(.*) /water/dispatch.cgi/$1 [L]


The cond I introduced was to avoid re-writing any requests with
dispatch.cgi in them.
