mod_rewrite funkiness

[mezzoblue]

After publishing the new mod_rewrite rules a few previously unnoticed issues have come up.

• External CSS files have always been permitted for the sake of previewing and testing. They no longer work:

http://www.csszengarden.com/?cssfile=http://www.skybased.com/css-zen-garden/css/screen.css

• This could be partially addressed by solving the above, but seems like it still might be a separate issue. Designs that rely on the older markup are meant to still be supported with the addition of /legacy/ in the URL. They now break in a slightly different way:

http://csszengarden.com/legacy/?cssfile=http://www.brucelawson.co.uk/zen/sample.css/

Good to know. Also, an older-style URL (http://www.csszengarden.com/?cssfile=/216/216.css) resolves incorrectly to http://www.csszengarden.com/216// (note the second slash). My guess is this issue is unrelated, but at any rate, it's all in voodoo-land.

I will have to get my repo up to date before I can take a look. If you see anything else, I'll be tracking this issue. Or 'watching' it... you know.

Also the 'View This Design's CSS File' link is broken. Links to http://csszengarden.com/218/218/ instead of http://csszengarden.com/218/218.css, for example.

I don't have access to my full repo yet. But looking at the code, I think fixing the 'View This Design's CSS File' link is a very small matter. I've submitted 'patch-1', but I haven't been able to test it yet.

'View Design's CSS File' link issue fixed, the other two remain.

We're doing pretty well with this, the main remaining issue is getting legacy CSS files linking properly, a la #88 (comment)
