I posted this on serverfault as well, but I probably asked in the wrong group.

I am using the Hiawatha web server and running drupal on a FastCGI PHP server.
The drupal site is using imagecache and it requires either private files or clean urls. The issue I am having with clean urls is that requests to files are being rewritten into index.php as well.

My current config is:

UrlToolkit {
    ToolkitID = drupal
    RequestURI exists Return
    Match (/files/*) Rewrite $1
    Match ^/(.*) Rewrite /index.php?q=$1
}

The above does not work.

Drupal's apache set up is:

<Directory /var/www/example.com>
  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteBase /
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
</Directory>
