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.
First, I believe that one mistake is to include the trailing question
mark into the URL which you redirect.
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.
