In each rule, there is a pattern, a substitution, and optionally a set of
flags.
The first rule's input is the URI requested by the client. For each rule, when
the pattern does not match, that rule's output is its unaltered input. When it
matches, the substitution/flags are applied and the substituted string is the
rule's output. The output of the prior rule is the input to the next. When
the rule is the final rule in the chain, its output is the final rewritten URI
or URL that httpd processes. There are flags which can tell httpd not to
process any rules following the flagged rule.
