use RewriteMap in htaccess file

How can i use RewriteMap directive in htaccess file? When i put it there i get "RewriteMap not allowed here" error.

I know this error will disappear when put it in httpd.conf or virtualhost configuration file. But i want to know is it possible to put it i开发者_StackOverflow社区n htaccess or not?

From the documentation:

Context: server config, virtual host

so the answer is "no", I'm afraid.

As far as I know it cannot be used in htaccess.
