Hmm. I fear your AI is hallucinating.

mod_rewrite operates on a request before it is processed. It only runs 
more than once for a given request if the initial request results in an 
internal redirect.

The REDIRECT_STATUS environment variable is generally used to prevent 
mod_rewrite from looping, it is empty on an initial request and set to 
the result of the internal redirect (typically 200) for subsequent 
requests chained from the initial request.

I'm not sure there is ever a scenario where it would be 500, I assume if 
any of the sub requests from an initial request completely failed, that 
would immediately be returned rather than proceeding with further 
internal redirects.

And even if it did work, all it would accomplish would be postponing the 
500 failure until after the 302, as you are redirecting them to another 
URL that will fail as presumably they are not going to include an 
authentication request in their call.

Is there anybody outside of the AI hype machine operated by that 
industry that thanks AI is useful for much of anything beyond wasting 
power, water, and making memory and storage insanely overpriced?

An LLM is basically just a fancy parrot. I'm pretty impressed when my 
mother-in-law's African gray talks, but I still wouldn't ask it to do my 
taxes.

Arguably, it is kind of neat in terms of audio/visual media generation. 
But in terms of actual knowledge work, the claims of it replacing highly 
skilled people are pretty bogus.
