Darryl,

 

Thanks for your answer. Let me give that a try.

The string I supplied has a stray double quote before the keyword Redirect, sorry.

Have you tried “Redirect permanent “/q3/app\?service=external/EmployerPages:DudeLogin”  “https://test.thing.seabass.com”

So – I’m the administrator of a Java application which has a URL similar to the following:

 

https://test.thing.seabass.com/q3/app?service=external/EmployerPages:DudeLogin

 

Can’t have them change it, and there’s no way to simplify.

 

I’d like to redirect the URL above to:

 

https://test.thing.seabass.com

 

 

I’ve tried a few rewrite rules by trial and error, unsuccessfully.

 

 

I also attempted to use generators such as http://www.visiospark.com/mod-rewrite-rule-generator/ and https://www.generateit.net/mod-rewrite/index.php.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Thanks in advance.
