Redirect loop / too many redirects

[TinyApps.Org]

Awesome - thanks so much for the answer, Gena!
Just adding the equal sign after "location" did
the trick!

One last question: is the caret after "rewrite"
required? I read the location syntax page but
still was not clear on what function the caret
would serve when it follows "location = wherever
{ rewrite..."

Yours Gratefully,

Miles
