Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Httpd Wiki" for change notification.
The following page has been changed by RichBowen: http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/RewriteCond New page: The '''RewriteCond''' directive defines conditions under which the rewriting should take place. == Syntax == We should really encourage people to use the lexicographically equal operator instead of a RegEx if they want to ckeck, if ''test string'' is lexicographically equal to ''cond pattern''. E.g. using {{{ RewriteCond {HTTP_HOST} !="" }}} instead of {{{ RewriteCond {HTTP_HOST} . # or RewriteCond {HTTP_HOST} !^$ }}} or using {{{RewriteCond {REQUEST_URI} !=/foo/bar }}} instead of {{{ RewriteCond {REQUEST_URI} !^/foo/bar$ }}} or {{{RewriteCond {SERVER_PORT} =443 }}} instead of {{{ RewriteCond {SERVER_PORT} ^443$ }}} '''Note:''' Conditions are being processed after the pattern of the RewriteRule has matched. This means that the Condition in following example would be useless (it's always true): {{{ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.html$ RewriteRule \.html$ - [G] }}} While this one wastes performance: {{{ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/([^.]*)\.html$ RewriteRule ^/(.*) /%1.php [PT] }}} Every Request matches the rule-pattern and after that the condition will be checked. But you can easily check the uri value in the rule-pattern, so that there is no need for such a condition here: {{{ RewriteRule ^/([^.]*)\.html$ /$1.php [PT] }}} == Examples == See ConditionalRewrites
