Hi,

Sorry to bother you.

What's the meaning of this rule ?

RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]

Thanks in advance.

Bye

Answer 1

That rule applied to all URL patterns (^.*$ matches anything) and [NC,L] means ignore case and don't apply any more rules.

So basically it's making your URL paths case insensitive.
