First, I believe that one mistake is to include the trailing question mark into the URL which you redirect.On Fri, Dec 4, 2009 at 09:55, Francis GALIEGUE <fge@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:Hello everyone, I've had the request to redirect a particular URI, say /foo or /foo/ to http://some.external.site/?var1=val1&var2=val2&var3=val3. The Apache server version is 2.0.52 used on RHEL 4.x. I have tested with 2.2.3 on RHEL 5.x and the behaviour below is the same...This has also been tested on the latest Debian stable: the behavior is exactly the same. It seems that it is the core Apache regex mechanism which is in cause here. Now, the question is, is it intended.
In http://my.server.com/foo/?var1=val1...The "?" is not actually part of the URI. It is a separator between the URI and the query string. So the URI to test is "/foo/", and not "/foo/?". Second, in "RedirectMatch", "RewriteCond" and "RewriteRule", the argument is a regexp, not a string. So when you write "/foo/?$", you mean actually : "/foo", possibly followed by "/", followed by the end of the string.
If you really wanted to test for a "?", you would have to escape it as "\?".I do not know if this is the source of your particular problem, but it may contribute to the strange results which you are seeing later.
