Re: mod_rewrite help, # in input url (Apache Users)

It is not possible. The string after the `#` is NEVER sent to the server (that is because of the way the browser works and there is nothing the server can do about it). The ONLY way to send it to the server would be to have some client-side scripting that captures and sends it as a real query string (using a `?`).

Thank you for the reply. I want to match the text which is follows # and grab a substring from it. Not sure if its possible with mod_rewrite ?

From the above url, I nee to redirect to /share/page/MyFiles&page=1

page=1 is variable I need to be captured from source url. Is it possible using Extended redirect of Apache ?

Could some one assist me with creating a rewrite rule in httpd 2.2.4?

http://localhost:8080/share/page/repository#filter=path%7C%2FUser%25Homes%2F<2ALFANUMERIC>%2F<ALFANUMERIC>%2F<DYNAMICTEXT>%7C&page=1

http://localhost:8080/share/page/context/mine/myfiles#filter=path%2F<2ALFANUMERIC>/<ALFANUMERIC>%2F<DYNAMICTEXT>

Below is sample:

http://localhost:8080/share/page/repository#filter=path%7C%2FUser%2520Homes%2Fm8%2Fm84448%2FTestFolder%7C&page=1

http://localhost:8080/share/page/context/mine/myfiles#filter=path%2Fm8%2Fm84448

I tried to do the rewrite rule however # in the base rule does not seem to valid

Have a look at the access log. You'll notice that anything after the # isn't actually sent with the request to the server, but is, rather, a client-side "anchor", processed by the browser to find an anchor in HTML markup.

Thus, you're not going to be able to write rewrite rules to handle this.

Consider, instead, using '?' to pass additional arguments in the query string
