Apache .htaccess export

[mjauvin]

Hello,

I really like the idea of your plugin, but I have doubts about its performance versus Apache RewriteRule directives in .htaccess

How hard would it be to add a mode where the plugin would be used solely for maintaining rules and writing those as RewriteRules to the ".htaccess" file?

Thanks.

I really like the idea. I think I've seen it with a WordPress plugin. But first things first. I am very interested in seeing some benchmarks first.

We'd need an htaccess template so that the default htaccess provided by October would be preserved when re-generating the file.

Using Apache's mod_rewrite for some of the redirect types is possible, but it is not possible to have all redirects converted to RewriteCond's and RewriteRules. Some of them have conditions which cannot be checked using .htaccess file.

Also we have created the ability to create custom conditional redirects, using the Vdlp.RedirectConditions plugin. These redirects cannot be converted as well.

Think this is subject for a separate plugin though.
