> I would like to understand the reasoning for disabling this feature Allowing .htaccess to override default web server values causes tons of stat calls to all the directory trees leading up to every single server request. It seemed wasteful since we weren't using it (all our rewrites are in our server config). We did check to see if any projects were using it and we didn't see anything overly convincing -- apologies for missing yours. I've re-enabled .htaccess for http://eclipse.org/eclipselink and I've tested that http://eclipse.org/eclipselink/api/latest/ redirects to 2.4/ |
Created attachment 229735 [details] current .htaccess file I believe the .htaccess redirecting has been disabled a few month back. Just noticed the issue. We use .htaccess to do RedirectMatch to our latest JavaDoc versions. I would like to understand the reasoning for disabling this feature and any suggested alternatives.
