title: .htaccess !-f rule not working
body: <p>I have been using simple mod_rewrite rules for my CMS for years and am now making a new version, I am seeing the rewriteCond not making sense- I have the standard "if is not a file" but I still see the rewriterules being evaluated even though they're not supposed to. My rewrite code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule ^([^/]+)$ index.php?page=$1
  RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)$ index.php?page=$1&amp;var=$2
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I load /page/var and it works fine as index.php?page=page&amp;var=var, but I try to load /css/file.css and it loads index.php?page=css&amp;var=file.css even though /css/file.css <strong><em>is</em></strong> a file, so the whole rewrite section shouldn't even be evaluated.</p>
  
  <p>I've never seen htaccess apparently defy its own logic, can someone help me figure this out? Has anyone ever run across anything like this?</p>
