mod_rewrite and double slash issue
Fixed with:
RewriteEngine OnRewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mydomain\.com$ [NC]RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mydomain.com$1 [R=301,L]because $1 by default contains the index path /
Actually, you will always have double slashes due to
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.wxample.com/$1 [R=301,L]combined with the fact that REQUEST_URI (that you are matching on) normally contains a starting slash. What you can try is RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.com$1, and then send a broken HTTP request GET foo HTTP/1.0 and see if Apache deals with it properly.
