RE: How can I simplify this URL to just the hostname with rewrite rules?

["Dorrian, William" <wdorr@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Darryl.

 

I was able to do this with:

 

RewriteEngine on

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

 

Escaping the special characters (as you advised), plus escaping the colon helped me fix.

 

Thanks!

Bill D.

I agree that those are the stumbling blocks. If you haven’t already try escaping them both or use the ASCII equivilents

1. Redirect permanent “/q3/app\?service\=external/EmployerPages:DudeLogin”  “https://test.thing.seabass.com”
2. Redirect permanent “/q3/app%3Fservice%3Dexternal/EmployerPages:DudeLogin”  “https://test.thing.seabass.com”
