This doesn't seem like it'd work quite like you describe.
The Apache docs say the Include directive uses "shell-style"
wildcard matching using fnmatch.[1] Documentation i've found
on the web for fnmatch suggests that you'd want a '!' rather
than a '^'.[2][3]
That said, i wouldn't want to assume that it *doesn't* work
like you describe; maybe Apache's docs aren't quite accurate,
or maybe i'm misinterpreting them...
Oh, here we go -- it *is* documented deep in the bowels of
APR. Apache uses apr_fnmatch [4], which is documented in
apr_fnmatch.h[5] and apparently supports both '!' and '^'.
In summary, your directive is just fine, but rather than
cancelling this message, i figure i might as well send it
along to give everyone a whole pile of links to docs.
Enjoy!
