rewrite or internal redirection cycle

[Michael Barrett]

Thanks Maxim!

It turns out that break on the rewrite line made it work.

I then added some caching to the location - and with the break on the rewrite line it didn't ever use the cache.  When I used the break statement on it's own however, it seems to work just fine.  Do you know if that's expected?

Thanks again!
