Well, no, for two reasons: 1. it is only usable with some web servers in some contexts: Apache HTTP Server implements it, but only in directory and htaccess context; 2. it resolves the ambiguity of a possible conflict, not the conflict itself: for instance, if there is a file called lib and a wiki page called lib too, then the file would win, thus rendering the wiki page impossible to access. > I use a comparable rule to access my GnuPG Public key downloader at > <http://andreas-haerter.com/contact/gpg-public-key> (a script which > downloads my Key from a keyserver pool to deliver my key > maintenance-free with as many signatures as possible) which is obviously > not a DokuWiki file. :-) Well, I hope that you will never have to create a page called contact/gpg-public-key, then. :-) -- ,--. : /` ) Tanguy Ortolo <xmpp:tanguy@xxxxxxxxx> <irc://irc.oftc.net/Elessar> | `-' Debian Maintainer \_
