Having issues with my rewrite rules. Trying to keep 404 response down.
I had already created a simple RedirectMatch ruile that would redirect any attempt to access anything in a CD directory tree to a collective, soft-error page:
RedirectMatch 301 ^/23-TheEasternFrontCD/1635TheEasternFrontCD/ http://baencd.thefifthimperium.com/NoCDs/
It worked fine when I had nothing in those paths to serve.
Now I want to redirect anything except certain files or anything in certain specific directories. If the specified directory or file exists, I want them to be served, but if they don't a catch-all should redirect to the soft-error page.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/23-TheEasternFrontCD/1635TheEasternFrontCD/images
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/23-TheEasternFrontCD/1635TheEasternFrontCD/index.htm
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/23-TheEasternFrontCD/1635TheEasternFrontCD/
RewriteRule ^/ /http://baencd.thefifthimperium.com/NoCDs/ [R=301,L]
The way I understand it, if the three rewrite conditions are met, then the immediately-following rule should trigger. So far, it doesn't seem to.
Anything in the images directory should serve. The specific index.htm file (and for some CDs, an orientation page or extra information page) should serve. Anything else I want to trigger the CD soft-error page.
But all I get is the standard server-wide 404 response.
Still working on the rules. For now, I'm just letting the standard 404 page serve, but I will be experimenting with the rules for the next few days.

Other sources for the Baen CDs:
This site is not associated with Baen Publishing Enterprises.
Well… 'not associated' in the sense that they don't run this site or support it in any way, shape or form beyond the fact that they've given permission for their CDs to be freely distributed by interested third parties. Any complaints, quibbles, comments, small plain brown paper bags filled with small-denomination well-circulated bills should be directed to baencd@this_domain's_name, not to Baen Publishing Enterprises.
For the small minority of people who still seem to think that this site is blatantly trampling upon multiple copyrights and don't believe what's in the CD-ROM Orientations, feel free to visit the Baen Publishing Enterprises
Baen knows all about this site, to the point where the publisher has my phone number and she's not afraid to use it.
(In case anyone is wondering: while I'd like to also serve up torrents of the CDs, my hosting service doesn't allow trackers, even for legal purposes.)
