Just did some testing. The following should work <Location /test> RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERRER} !$2$3 RewriteRule ^/(.*)/([^/]*\.)(html|htm|php)$ /test-redir.php?page=/test/$2$3 [R,L] </Location> If referer does not contain $2/$3, the RewriteCond will match. > Rules below would be tested, but they wouldn't match unless the pattern starts with scheme + :// + url-path. unless the RewriteCond pattern starts with /. The above matches just fine. > Only other status codes than 301, 302, 303 will be forced immediately (eg. R=404, since apache 2.1). Correct. I tested against 2.0.54. From memory P was rewritten into proxy:URL and was not forced immediately, but I thought R was. Tests show it is not. -ascs -----Original Message----- From: Robert Ionescu [mailto:robsiegen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, May 29, 2006 7:36 PM To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [users@httpd] mod_rewrite Axel-Stéphane SMORGRAV wrote: > The L is not necessary since the redirect is immediate.
