This may be the best htaccess resource I've ever run across:

Ultimate htaccess Article

There are some really neat tips in there, including...

- Forcing certain file types to download instead of displaying within browser
- Search engine friendly redirects
- Preventing hotlinking and bandwidth stealing

Very cool tips! Post here if you find something new or cool you didn't know about ahead of time.

Force Apache to output any HTTP Status Code with ErrorDocument

I setup an automated system to view all 57 Apache Response codes and ErrorDocuments, saving the headers and returned content for future reference. Use this page as a reference when designing scripts that use headers. Ex: 404 Not Found, 200 OK, 304 Not-Modified, 506 Service Temporarily Unavailable, etc.

When a Status code is encountered, Apache serves the header and the ErrorDocument for the error code. So if you can see any Header and ErrorDocument by causing that error on Apache.

For instance, if you request a file that doesn’t exist, a 404 Not Found is issued and the corresponding ErrorDocument is served with the 404 Not Found Header. So we can see what Apache 404 Errors and Response Codes look like, but how do we cause errors for the 56 other Apache Response Codes?
