Hi mate,

Try something like this for the example you gave http://host/myapp?userid=abc&role=myrole:

RewriteEngine on

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteCond QUERY_STRING userid=(.*)&role=(.*)
RewriteRule ^/myapp$ [E=var1:%1,var2:%2]

RequestHeader append userid var1
RequestHeader append role var2

This is untested and not sure about the correct syntax in the [E=var1:%1,var2:%2] flag, ie do you need coma or ; between the vars etc, but thats the general idea.

Cheers,

Igor

Thanks Igor.

Would you be able to point me to an example? I dont fully understand how I can configure this to take a parameter of the query string and then set a variable as a header.

thanks for your help

Use mod_rewrite to set variable and then set that var as header.
