[TYPO3-core] RFC #5020: Use better rewrite rules in .htaccess

Hi core team,

This is an SVN patch request.

Type: Cleanup

Bugtracker references:
http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=5020

Branches:
- - trunk

Problem:
The rewrite rules are more complicated than they need to be. This will
affect the loading speed of any site (citation and measurements needed).

Solution:

Rule 1:
- - Never rewrite 'static' resources. That would be silly right? If a
certain request exists as an actual file on the filesystem: serve the file.

Rule 2
- - Rewrite everything else.

Rule 3
- - wrap the rewrite stuff with an <ifModule > to avoid 500 errors.


-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On

# Do not rewrite static resources
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l
RewriteRule .* - [L]

# Rewrite the rest to index.php
RewriteRule .* /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ship with this .htaccess enabled by default since it is safe and sane.

A more elaborate (but old, I use Nginx now) article is here:
http://www.typofree.org/article/archive/2008/june/title/rethinking-the-realurl-mod-rewrite-rules/

I'm still very interested in load graphs, more speed measurements for
big sites if you can produce any.

Thanks
