Why do I get a "not found" error when I try to access a rewritten rule after a successful pubcookie login?

If you use rewriting rules to define the login path that triggers a pubcookie weblogin (or any ssl-based url reference) and you get a "not found" error from the web server after you successfully log in, make sure you have enabled the rewrite rules in the SSL vhost. Rewrite rules and engine settings don't inherit to vhosts by default so you need to do a RewriteEngine on and RewriteOptions inherit for each vhost you want the global config to influence.
