But are the wildcards used correctly?
That's the part I'm nervous about.
Also, if I wanted to redirect a number of files to a specific page:
"all html files in the 'd' directory starting with 'hd1996' to '[link|http://ubersoft.net/comic/hd/archives/1996'|http://ubersoft.net/...hd/archives/1996'] "
would I just drop the "$1", i.e.
RedirectMatch 301 /d/hd1996(.*)\\.html$ [link|http://ubersoft.net/comic/hd/archives/1996|http://ubersoft.net/.../hd/archives/1996]
... and if I did that would it be appropriate to use the 301, or would it be more accurate to use one of the other redirect #'s?
I'm pretty new at this... the stuff I've googled doesn't quite cover it, or the conversations and explanations assume a much higher familiarity with the subject than I have... and the apache documentation, unfortunately, is rather like reading sanskrit.
