I'm trying to get our Apache web server to detect and redirect incoming
requests from BlackBerry PDAs to a version of the site designed for tiny
screens. The URL for the PDA site is identical to the main site, but
with "/pda" appended.
Our httpd.conf file contains:
# Redirects to accomodate PDA's and other tiny screens...
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} "BlackBerry" [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.saddlebrook\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://www.saddlebrook.com/pda [L,R]
This successfully detects BlackBerrys trying to access
"www.saddlebrook.com" and successfully changes the URL to
"http://www.saddlebrook.com/pda"; as I expected.
But when the redirected browser runs through the rules again, the regexp
"^www\.saddlebrook\.com$" is also matching the new URL
"http://www.saddlebrook.com/pda";. So it redirects endlessly.
Why is regexp "^www\.saddlebrook\.com$" matching
http://www.saddlebrook.com/pda"; and how can I make this work correctly?
Thanks for any suggestions!
Ken
