Apache FilesMatch

Question

With Apache, I can target files by extension like this:

<FilesMatch "\.(gif|jpg|png|js|css)$">

Can you also target specific files by their entire filename. For example "bg.jpg":

<FilesMatch "bg.jpg">

Would that work?

Thanks, Ben

Answer 1

Yes, that will work but you need to escape the dot (\.) if you want to use FilesMatch. You could also simply use Files.

Answer 2

It's a regular expression, which means you should anchor it with a caret "^" in front and a dollar sign "$" at the end. Plus escape the dot, as joschi said.
