Darn -it
Thanks
Problem is, it turns up 100 of pages of stuff i don't want.
Perhaps this is a good place to say exactly what i'm looking for, i suspect
somebody may have a link.
What i need is an explanation with examples on the use of the structures in
the following examples:
SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "^XXXXXXX" bad_bot
SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent ".*XXXXXXXX.*" bad_bot
I have used them but have forgotten what the ^ and . do and the order in
which you use them and when you don't need a ^ or a .
