[Cialug] mod_rewrite QSA

[Barry Von Ahsen]

here's the magic incantation:

<VirtualHost 10.10.0.42:80>
         ServerName rewritetest.vonahsen.com
         DocumentRoot /home/barry/public_html/
         RewriteEngine on
         RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !.*now=.* [NC]
         RewriteRule ^/(.*) $1?now=%{TIME} [QSA,L,R]
</VirtualHost>
