Got it! The referring URL has a parameter task=whatever, e.g. ht tp://mysite.com?task=edit
The condition in the fifth line is matching "ask".
Still need to figure out how they hacked the .htaccess files, but at least the smaller mystery is solved.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The answer is probably on your access_log, Jon.

Xposty form Bitches, but I think it's neat.
So my aunt lives in a senior's residence. They have a table for discarded things the owners don't want or if a sad passing has happened, relatives sometimes leave odds and ends there.
My cousin Steve said that his mom noted an old digital camera there and he picked it up and brought it to me because he couldn't figure out how to work it.
I took one look at it and said, "This is not a digital camera. It's a film camera." He pointed out to me something he said was a port, but I recognized as a flash port. I also decided I had seen one before. The case was leather and very old, and the camera was sleek aluminum.
We were going out and about so I took it with me to the stores, and then to lunch. after lunch I took it out and yes, there was no mistaking it as a tiny film camera. It had ASA speeds up to 400 and shutter speeds up to 1/1000. It also had a light meter, and distance markings from 8 inches to infinity.
I have subsequently ID'd it as a Minox model B, the preferred camera of spys and spy flicks for over 70 years.
I hope he lets me keep it....

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Very neat. Can you still get film for it?

Yes, so far $10 for 36 exposure cartridges. Pan or color.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Ooh. I've always wanted one of those. Funny about how it was mistaken for a digital camera.

So, Adobe Flash insists that i update. I do. Then I have to restart, which I didn't want to do right that second, so now any site with flash didn't work. I finally restart, and now I still have to download some other plugin. WTF? THIS is why I don't update shit. It's more trouble than it's worth.
