Stuff inside [] is a character class, not an arbitrary regex. That means it will match any one of the set of characters included in the class. You need something more like RedirectMatch permanent ^/(.*(?!\.(gif|jpg)))/?$ http://www.example.com/$1.html I haven't tested that, and the negative-lookahead assertion will certainly only work in httpd 2.x. Another way to do this that doesn't require as much regex magic is RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(gif|jpg)$ RewriteRule ^/(.*)/?$ http://www.example.com/$1[R=permanent] Joshua.
Thanks for the reply. Yes, I was wrong with thinking [^gif] would match only the whole string. Got that in the meantime. I just tested your proposal but it does not work =/ It redirects to /file.gif.html, /file.gif.html.html etc. etc. in an infinite loop. ergo: it matches and redirects. hb --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
