Actually, I lied a bit. We're not using mod_rewrite for
these, but a little C++ ISAPI filter for IIS using
boost.org's Regex++.
However, you can do query strings from mod_rewrite as well.
Using RewriteCond for something like your example:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} id=([^&;]*)
RewriteRule (.*)articles\.psp $1articles/%1? [L]
Or something close to that. Relevant parts: RewriteCond
backreferences use %1,%2 etc as opposed to regular
backreferences $1,$2. The trailing question mark on the
RewriteRule tells it to remove the query string from the
request (i suppose this would be optional..?)
Now, for my purposes (where the incoming URL is already
correct sans-querystring, and I actually want to reinsert a
querystring for the servlets) it's very easy. If you
include a ? in the substitution string, mod_rewrite's docs
say it will automatically modify QUERY_STRING.
RewriteRule (.*)articles/([0-9]+) $1articles?id=$2 [L]
Again, not tested but it's close.
