Great. This one worked. However, it looks like the first request with the query string returns a 301 moved permanently response, requiring another request from the browser to the file without the query string.
Can this redirection be avoided, so that the server returns the cached file on the original response only? -----Original Message----- From: Ben Johnson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, October 04, 2012 9:23 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [users@httpd] How to strip out the query parameter for specific URLs using mod_rewrite?

Something like this should work: RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} =/folder/xmlfiles/static.xml RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !="" #The ? at the end causes the %{QUERY_STRING} to be omitted #from %{REQUEST_URI} during rewriting. RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %{REQUEST_URI}?
