Hello everyone, I've had the request to redirect a particular URI, say /foo or /foo/ to http://some.external.site/?var1=val1&var2=val2&var3=val3. The Apache server version is 2.0.52 used on RHEL 4.x. I have tested with 2.2.3 on RHEL 5.x and the behaviour below is the same...
This looked quite simple, so I tried this: ---- RedirectMatch permanent ^/foo/?$ http://some.external.site/?var1=val1&var2=val2&var3=val3 ---- This didn't quite work as expected since if I enter http://first.site/foo/, what I see in the URL bar in the browser after the redirect is: http://some.external.site/?var1=val1/foo/var2=val2/foo/var3=val3 So, the & has extended to the "left" part of the regex... Maybe this bug was only with mod_alias's RedirectMatch, so I tried mod_rewrite instead, in the following way: ---- RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/foo/?$ RewriteRule ^/foo/?$ http://some.external.site/?var1=val1&var2=val2&var3=val3 [R,QSA] ---- Same thing! Out of despair, I even tried to combine mod_setenvif with mod_rewrite: ---- SetEnvIf Request_URI ^ qs=var1=val1&var2=val2&var3=val3 RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/foo/?$ RewriteRule ^/foo/?$ http://some.external.site/?%{ENV:qs} [R,QSA] ---- But to my suprise, the ill-fated & striked again! The & in the environment variable is replaced with whatever was matched by the regex after Request_URI (even nothing, like in the above example) :( Is this expected or is this a bug? I have tried and googled for hours without being able to solve this problem... Is there a simple way to just make the & literal in right parts? I have tried to backslash it away to no effect...
