Hi Darryl. I was able to do this with:
RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^/$ https://test.thing.seabass.com/q3/app\?service\=external/EmployerPages\:DudeLogin<https://test.thing.seabass.com/q3/app/?service\=external/EmployerPages\:DudeLogin> Escaping the special characters (as you advised), plus escaping the colon helped me fix. Thanks! Bill D.
