title: adding exception to the htaccess file to bypass a single URL
body: <p>I'm a newbie with htaccess file so please bear me with my ignorance.</p>
  
  <p>I'm working on a code-igniter project whereby I require to add exception for a particular URL say : www.domain.com/leaveit/file</p>
  
  <p>Basically I have placed a folder at the root which I need to bypass from the rule written in htaccess file where by index.php is added for every request made.</p>
  
  <p>Any suggestion / link would be highly appreciable as I have searched a lot for the solution but didn't end up with anything concrete to help me out of this issue.</p>
  
  <p>Here's my htaccess code.</p>
  
  <pre><code>RewriteEngine on
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f  
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d 
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.domain.com/$1 [L,R=301]
  php_flag output_buffering On
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thank in advance for your time and patience.</p>
