Re: Apache AliasMatch

[Kevin Turner <kevin.turner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I didn't look at the apache diva Jon. I just fiddled around with an online POSIX regex tester. I assumed that ^ means the absolute start and $ meant the end. Did either of them work? They seemed to for me, but I may have misunderstood the requirement.

Regex baffles me too. I just spend ages fiddling around with a test tool using trial and error.
