Chevereto without mod_rewrite

Hello,
actually chevereto is working with .htaccess files and needs mod_rewrite.
My question is : why is it necessary to rewrite the links ? The problem with this is that we can't use Chevereto with anything else than Apache, other web servers are not officially supported so it would be hazardous to go with Lighttpd for example.

So here is my suggestion, the possibility to turn the rewrite rules off (by a configuration setting) to make the site compatible with any other web server.

Regards.

PS:
if anyone know how to configure Lighttpd to work with Chevereto please let me know.
 
Apache + mod_rewrite are the default combo needed, but that can be replaced with nginx rewriting rules, also Lighttpd rewriting rules, etc. You can use it with any server that does some sort of rule -> rewriting.
 
yes i understand, but you need some skills to do that, while the .htacess version comes "ready to use". that's why i'm wondering if someone could post what lines to add in the lghttpd config files to get it working. i saw some nginx examples but unfortuantely i don't use it.
 
Hello, You can get lighttpd working with chevereto easily. Just use server.error-handler-404 instead of url rewrite module. Like shown in here:
