That makes sense. I overlooked it in the manual. The only problem is
that it doesn't work. If I set this ...
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond ${QUERY_STRING} "file"
RewriteRule ^/test\.php$ /index.php [R]
.. and when i call ..
http://www.example.com/test.php?file
.. it doesn't rewrite. But if I remove the RewriteCond and call ...
http://www.example.com/test.php
... it does redirect from /test.php to /index.php. For some reason the
rewrite condition is not matching.
