Maybe an example is best. Assume the Request-URI is "http://somewhere/the/path/index.html" then you want to to talk about all URIs with a prefix of "http://somewhere/the/path/", i.e. the scheme, the site component and the path component of the Request-URI minus any trailing segment. I assumed "symbolic element" to refer to "/". Cheers, Ronald
