Recips & RegEx help please

To prevent loops, you want to name the recip to something different than exquisiteangelz.gif and use something like:

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule .*exquisiteangelz.gif$ /images/recips/exquisiteangelzrecip.gif [L]

you don't want to name it newexquisiteangelz.gif because that would match the regexp and cause a redirect loop.

Keep in mind, anywhere else on your site that you use RewriteEngine on, you will need to use RewriteOptions inherit or add the rule to that .htaccess as well.
