If my usr is
http://some-domain.com/some_directory/LDIR=foobar/my_html.shtml
and I have a rewrite rule
RewriteRule ^(.*)/LDIR=([^/]+)/(.*) $1/$3 [E=LDIR:$2]

will show LDIR=foobar

but if my url is

http://some-domain.com/
and my rewrite rule is:
RewriteRule ^/$ $1 [E=LDIR:$1]
#printenv shows
REDIREDT_LDIR=/
and not
LDIR=/

Although ``RewriteRule ^/$ $1 [E=LDIR:$1]'' cannot work, your problem in
general is that for things like http://some-domain.com/ Apache does internal
sub-requests to find for instance http://some-domain.com/index.html. And this
is the reason why you get REDIRECT_LDIR.
