[Typo3-dev] Bug in .htaccess?

I discovered that using the slash in front of index.php is depending on
the way you use the rewrite rules, i.e. in httpd.conf or in a .htaccess.
I remember correctly, I had to use the slash, because RealURL generates
paths other than just the webroot, whereas in the usual TYPO3-setups
(even with simulateStaticDocuments), you only have 'faked' HTML-pages in
the webroot.

As we're mostly talking about the .htaccess-file now, we can write the
rules for that, but include a note in it as well for people who want to
put them in httpd.conf (like me...).

Like Masi, I discovered that in httpd.conf, you have to supply the full
path (hence %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}, but in .htaccess you don't have to.

There also an issue with TYPO3 not detecting the root of the website
(t3lib_div::getIndpEnv('TYPO3_SITE_URL')) when using RealURL and the
rewrite-rules in the httpd.conf. It works correctly when the rules are
in .htacces. The problem is that the HTTP_SERVER_VARS['SCRIPT_NAME'] (if
I recall correctly) is 'just' set to the requested path, instead of just
the path to /index.php...
Maybe using a RewriteBase helps to prevent this, I haven't tested that
though...

Good idea!

Looks good. Is it true that we don't need the slash before index.php
because of the RewriteBase?

Grtz,
