Sorry, by CGI variables, I meant the webserver variables. Stored in the CGI scope by ColdFusion and in the SERVER[] scope in PHP, if that helps. Variables like SCRIPT_NAME, HTTP_REFERER, etc. I tried your sample code against several use cases and it does everything our current module does and more. I still have to test the webserver variables to know whether I have to pass the URL in the query string, but I think that should be a formality. Thanks again for all of your help. Without it, this effort would have taken significantly longer than it did. I appreciate that. On 7/1/06, Joshua Slive <joshua@xxxxxxxx> wrote:

That, of course, would be ideal. If by "CGI variables" you mean the query string, then my example did, in fact, change them. But if you leave off the "?$1" they should be left unchanged. (Your script may need to look in REDIRECT_QUERY_STRING. That's why I suggest dumping all the variables to see what is available.) > > One last question (for now), if you don't mind: can you explain your > last paragraph?

I thought you mean langing page as in a page that you redirect off-site visitors to when they first arrive. You are correct it is not needed in the scenario you describe. NC stands for No Case, meaning the test is case-insensitive. Check the documentation for RewriteCond.
