Re: [users@httpd] Removing trailing slashes with query strings

[Dave Wreski]

Hi,

        [Tue Jan 16 08:55:13.289205 2024] [rewrite:trace1] [pid
        904886:tid 904938] mod_rewrite.c(493): [client
        68.111.193.42:0 <http://68.111.193.42:0>] 68.195.193.42 - -
        [webstage.example.com/sid#560ba7f01a68][rid#7f2b1c0bc210/initial
        
<http://webstage.example.com/sid#560ba7f01a68][rid%237f2b1c0bc210/initial>]
        redirect to
        
https://webstage.example.com/administrator/sqlantern-joomla/php?cms_settings
        [REDIRECT/301]

    Based on those log entries, the rewrite worked fine.

    Perhaps you're dealing with DirectorySlash here.

    Notice the last line redirected to itself, causing an infinite
    loop of redirects.

    I also wanted to add that, given the RewriteCond rule may be
    working correctly, how can I change it to accommodate query
    strings, or this particular query string?

    Thanks,
    Dave



If your rules are in .htaccess, the latter file will be parsed over 
and over until it stops matching, so use the appropriate RewriteCond 
to break that loop, or better yet, edit your vhost instead.

Yes, that's what I'm asking for help to do :-) This rewritecond is 
included in my vhost config using an Include statement.

Thanks,
Dave
