Re: Redirect help

David,

Because you used the “^” symbol, aren’t you attempting to start your match at the beginning of the string?
Thus, you’d have to include the initial forward slash:
i.e. “^/mailman/listinfo(.*)__;.*”

I know you said your original ^listinfo regex worked, but I always thought the caret symbol meant you had to match the start of your string.

Folks:

Although this isn't specifically IBM i related, it is Apache httpd related.

Can anyone see the problem with this directive?

RewriteRule "^mailman/listinfo(.*)__;.*" "/mailmam/listinfo$1" [R=permanent,L]

I'm trying to match requests that have garbage characters after the list name. For example:

https://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/midrange-l__;!!NVq9dfhzMyHqTw!z410dqrmr6fXvUzgEcyb2bBGMYgWN3xOn7iWtWF8E-ADrINrLivrvNo2navKbtB3Tw$ <https://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/midrange-l__;!!NVq9dfhzMyHqTw!z410dqrmr6fXvUzgEcyb2bBGMYgWN3xOn7iWtWF8E-ADrINrLivrvNo2navKbtB3Tw$>

In the current configuration, the following redirect works perfectly:
RewriteRule "^listinfo(.*)" "/mailman/listinfo$1" [R=permanent,L]

Thanks!
