#place above all other rewrite rules if using a cms or program that redirects all request to index.php file (e.g. WordPress, Drupal, Laravel, etc...)
#if a file or directory does not exist on the local host, 302 redirect the request to the production host so the browser doesn't cache the file in case you replace the file locally
