MOD - Rewrite Cheat Sheet v2

This document provides examples and explanations of mod_rewrite syntax and flags for redirecting URLs and blocking referrer spam. Regular expressions are used to match patterns in URLs and referrers. RewriteRule directives specify the matching patterns and replacement URLs, and RewriteCond directives set conditions that must be met. Flags like R, L, and NC control how redirects are handled.
