hi Jon,

Alias or ScriptAlias does not allow regular expressions.

That's why AliasMatch and ScriptAliasMatch exist. The only difference between them is that the 'Match' varieties support regular expressions. The trade-off is performance, when I first started working with Apache, I was told to use the 'Match' keywords sparingly because the extra overhead of doing RE processing on every URL was significant.

Granted, that was in the mid-90s, so perhaps that's not an issue today?

Not sure. My I still avoid AliasMatch/ScriptAliasMatch as much as I can.

Thanks Henrik - I'm familiar with that usage - I though it would
apply to ScriptAlias also.
