web/main/.htaccess: translate dotpaths: Fixed bug where can't remove all [] escapes, because this would also remove [] from protected parts of the URL (i.e. before the last /). Instead just remove up to two [] escapes per dot-level, e.g. a.[b.c]=[d.e] -> a/b.c=d.e . Note that this removes the restriction against URLs containing "[]", because these [] will be left as-is as long as they are followed at some point by a / .

Removed web/.htaccess because it is not part of any site (web/main/.htaccess is the top-level .htaccess file for the default site)

web/main/.htaccess: translate dotpaths: replace all unescaped . with / : Allow empty components on either side of the . , to ensure that all unescaped dots are consistently replaced with / . Note that hidden directories that start with . will have the . preserved, because they have (or get) a trailing slash, which prevents dotpath from operating on them.

web/main/.htaccess: translate dotpaths: remove all [] escapes: Also remove empty [] to allow permalinking clients to easily generate escaped strings by URL-encoding the value and enclosing it in [], which will now also work even if the value is empty. This change will break any destination URLs that use "[]", such as PHP scripts that use this to indicate an array variable in the query string. In these URLs, the [] must now be %-encoded.

web/main/.htaccess: RewriteRules with [redirect] and http:// : Removed [redirect] because it is implied when the replacement is an absolute URL

web/main/.htaccess: RewriteRules with [redirect]: Added last because apparently redirect will not immediately cause the redirect, and will instead continue rewriting the URL ("You will almost always want to use [R] in conjunction with [L] (that is, use [R,L]) because on its own, the [R] flag prepends http://thishost[:thisport] to the URI, but then passes this on to the next rule in the ruleset, which can often result in 'Invalid URI in request' warnings." <http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/rewrite/flags.html#flag_r&gt;)

web/main/.htaccess: RewriteRules: Added [discardpath,noescape] flags to all rules, because these are needed for correct interpretation of the replacement and should be the default setting. For some rules they may be optional, but it is better to include them on all rules to ensure there is never an unexpected effect from omitting them.

web/main/.htaccess: Added "RewriteOptions inherit" because this¹ should be the default setting, to ensure that global filter rules also occur in subdirs. Note that the presence of this directive in this .htaccess file does not solve this problem, but putting it there will remind writers of subdir .htaccess files that they need to include that directive....

web/main/SALVIAS/.htaccess: RedirectMatch for below top-level: Use /(.*?)/?$ suffix for consistency with other sources' RedirectMatch patterns

web/main/TCS,VegX/.htaccess: Fixed bug where need to match dirs by themselves in addition to when followed by a filename
