-It works for Apache (returning ''403'' as expected) but not for LSWS (returning ''404'' instead of ''403''). Why? Actually, LSWS doesn't support rewrite rules inside <Location> or <FileMatch> context, but you can easily just use appropriate rewrite rules to achieve the same goal. For the above example, you can use the following instead in ''/etc/apache2/conf.d/userdata/rejectthisurl.conf''
