RewriteCond giving 500 error and not 403

    I've noticed in my logs that if I ban a useragent like below:

    RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^libwww-perl [OR]

    It returns a 500 error rather than a 403

    Should this cause me any alarm or do i need to change something. It works when I use this:

    deny from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

    I have this at the start of the section for banned ip's and user agents

    <Files 403.shtml>
    order allow,deny
    allow from all
    </Files>

    My last line is this:

    RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^psycheclone
    RewriteRule ^.* - [F]

    Any tips or help on this would be appreciated.

    Thanks Ian

    Try the E flag. So new code is:

    RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^libwww-perl [OR, E=403]
