**Setup**
- MW 1.35
- VisualEditor REL_1_35
**Issue**
If one wants to use VisualEditor with a short URL like e.g. https://wiki.example.org/Main_Page you will get "Error contacting the Parsoid/RESTBase server (HTTP 404)" Once you add an URL particle (not sure how to call it) like e.g. https://wiki.example.org/page/Main_Page everything works as expected. Thus it appears that currently having this URL particle is required.
works
```
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/?seite(/.*)?$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/mediawiki/index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^/?$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/mediawiki/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
```
does not work
```
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-f
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/mediawiki/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
```
Perhaps some extra voodoo is to be added to the rewrite rules to also make something like https://wiki.example.org/Main_Page but I do not know what it could be.
Created this report to make you aware however I suspect that this may be a dupe already.
