i have a working RewriteCond like:
RequestURL:
http://www.myserver.com/images/gallery/summer/2013/2013-07-07/thumbs/001.jpg
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !images/gallery/summer/2013/*
RewriteRule ^images/gallery/summer/(.*)$ http://xyz.s3.amazonaws.com/$1 [P]
This works fine and the image is pulled from Amazon S3.
But why the heck a RegEx doesn't work in the RewriteCond like:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^images/gallery/summer/2013/(.*)$
It's just i want to understand why the above code works and the other doesn't?
THANK YOU
