[plug] Apache Rewrite Rule

[Leon Wright]

Jason,

It was a small spurt of inspiration at the time. However I haven't finished
developing the web app and haven't revisited the how I'm going to deploy
it, as there is a few ways to skin the dancer cat.

I reckon you may have something though, the only time I did get it to work
caused it to recurse until apache returned a http 300 (I think that was the
error, was a little while ago).

I'll give it a whirl and let you know how I get on.

Leon

# cat /dev/mem | strings | grep -i cats
Damn, my RAM is full of cats... MEOW!!
