What can be put in the .htaccess file?

[sbhikes]

Are there any rules about what you are or are not allowed to put in the .htaccess file?

Hi sbhikes,
Great question. Have a look at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/howto/htaccess.html as that will show you all you want to know about htaccess and its usage :)

So I guess you're saying there are no limits other than what .htaccess is capable of doing, then?

(I just wanted to make it so that users don't have to see cgi-bin in the url. But I'm quite a newbie and couldn't quite get it. So at least now I know it was me and not some other limitation.)
