Tricky Rewrite rules.

[Hone]

Ok so the apache rewrite rules are basically saying this.

If its not a search (s=.) redirect the wordpress permalink to the static
html file.

If there's not a cookie with comment_author_ in it redirect the
wordpress permalink to the static html file.

If there's not a cookie with wordpressuser, wp-postpass_ etc

Wouldn't something more like this be the way to do it:

 if ($query_string !~ ".*s=.*") { 
 rewrite ^(.*) /wp-content/cache/supercache/$http_host/$1index.html;
 }
 
 if ($http_cookie !~ "^.*comment_author_.*$" ) {
 rewrite ^(.*) /wp-content/cache/supercache/$http_host/$1index.html;
}

 if ($http_cookie !~ "^.*wordpressuser.*$" ) {
 rewrite ^(.*) /wp-content/cache/supercache/$http_host/$1index.html;
}

 if ($http_cookie !~ "^.*wp-postpass_.*$" ) {
 rewrite ^(.*) /wp-content/cache/supercache/$http_host/$1index.html
break;
}
