Apache mod_rewrite / Helicon ISAPI Rewrite question

[Bammy217]

Hiya folks,

have a question for you all; the sites I've recently been handed use URL rewriting and somewhere this is causing an issue; now i was wondering if there is anyone out there that knows how we can retrieve the URL passed to the server before the re-write takes place?

For Example:
before re-write:

http://www.mydomain.com/something-short?id=12

after re-wrtie:

http://www.mydomain.com/someDir/anotherDir/yetAnotherDir/index.cfm?action=XXX&id=12

as the re-direct is causing issues from time to time I would love to see the URL that is throwing the error as we have several rules that lead to the same scripts... I've configured the server (ColdFusion) to trigger an error email for us, but there is of course the URL after re-write and I would love to know the entry point...

if anyone has any idea on how to output the URL as entered in the browser before the re-write i would be much obliged

Many thanks,

We never fail, we just find that the path to succes is never quite what we thought...
