Rewrite problem

[tonyedgecombe]

There seems to be a small problem with rewrite, if I have an entry like this in my htaccess:

Redirect permanent /index.html http://www.domain.com

then Litespeed continually redirects until the browser errors.

Apache is happy with this redirect.

Try removing index.html as an index. It seems that it is simply picking up / as index.html because theoretically / is "index.html" so I'm thinking if you remove index.html from the index list it might work? I know it defeats the logic probably but meh, it's worth a try right?

Hello,

It works under apache, but when switched to litespeed, it loops. I had to rewrite the entire batch under mod_rewrite rules, but this need to be looked into in case this hits other people for this issue as well.

This is on the 4.1b2 version, since I have to use this one for the upload progress bug fix for it.
