Do you really need the QSA?

Post #354,726 by scoenye 2/25/12 11:43:52 PM Reply	Do you really need the QSA? From the mod_rewrite docs: qsappend\|QSA' (query string append) This flag forces the rewrite engine to append a query string part of the substitution string to the existing string, instead of replacing it. That looks like setting up for trouble in this case. (.) matches a single character (the question mark) and should result in http://foobar.com/ redirect?1=five?1=one&2=two Try `RewriteRule (.)1=one(.) http://foobar.com/$11=five$2 [P,NC,L]` Other than that, I'm not sure if the condition rule triggers: it should be "RewriteCond", and one of the parameters is missing.

Post #354,765 by scoenye 2/27/12 4:52:40 PM Reply	It is possible... The key is to use the RewriteCond and then use the % backrefs: `RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (.)1=one(.) RewriteRule index.html redirect.html?%11=five%2 [L]` (URL and host names don't match your example, but this is what I got working on my server. The rest shouldn't be to hard to reconstruct.)
