Why .htaccess drives?

Question

Apache HTTP Server

In short, the situation is as follows: there is a site on Beget, on that site you need to arrange a simple .htaccess. Here is the file

Options +ExecCGI
RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^home/(.*)$ /cgi-bin/index.rb?__query__=$1&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^repo/([a-zA-Z.-_]{3,})!(.+) repo/?name=$1&version=$2
RewriteRule ^repo/(.*) repo/?name=$1

Well, this code throws a 500 error. But what is most interesting, it works fine if I comment out the last rule. Already checked with all possible linters, rewrote it four times - the same garbage. And it does not work even when there is one. What's the point, people?

Answer 1

I think the salt in the recursion - repo/... -> repo/?name=... falls under the rule again.
