I said I would test this,
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} subdomain\.domain\.ext
RewriteRule (.*)(0[5-6]).html$ /20$2/$1$2.html [R=301,L]
Testing had mixed results.
When this rule was at subdomain.domain.ext/sandbox/.htaccess
and the submitted url was
http://subdomain.domain.ext/sandbox/fileDDMMYY.ext
it redirected to http://subdomain.domain.ext/2005/fileDDMMYY.ext
which was the desired and I thought, the expected behavior.
However, when the rule was placed at subdomain.domain.ext/.htaccess
it did not work - it created an endless loop with multiple
insertions of the /2005/ string. For users attempting to reach
http://subdomain.domain.ext/fileDDMMYY.ext
the desired rewrite or redirect URL is
http://subdomain.domain.ext/2005/fileDDMMYY.ext
but this is what happened:
http://subdomain.domain.ext/2005/2005/2005/2005/2005/2005/2005/2005/2005/2005/2005/2005/2005/2005/2005/2005/2005/2005/2005/2005/fileDDMMYY.ext
What is really malfunctioning here? Can this rewrite rule be
corrected?
