Thank you very much for this. I don't know if you answer questions, but I'll ask one just in case. I'm doing a 301 redirect for an old link to a new php file. For whatever reason the link won't redirect. However, if I change a lower case letter to an Uppercase letter in the preceding directory's name it works as it should. I've tried everything, and I just can't seem to get it to work. Here is the code example: Redirect 301 /products/volture/peh20w/peh20w.php http://www.mide.com/products/volture/peh20w.php. If I change the /peh20w/ to /peh20W/ (note capital W) then it works. Any ideas greatly appreciated. Thanks.

@ â€¦

Not only do I read about them, in great depth, I also write about them and program using them. I wrote an authoritative list of HTTP status codes here, which maybe you should read before commenting again ;p

You know that only the http stauts codes in the range from 400 - 499 are Client Errors and 500 - 599 are Server errors?

1XX is informational, 2XX stand for success and 3XX is for redirection.

Please read about them before you write a big .htaccess that is in some places wrong.

I hope this finds you doing well. I have been pulling my hair out trying to write a set of mod_rewrite rules in a VirtualHost directive and I seem to be missing my goal in one area. The thing I'm trying to do is proxy an inbound connection to a WSSO (Web Single Sign on provider) that will forward the traffic back to my virtual host once authentication happens if:

The requested URL is http://jezman.web.zowamunga.com/index.php?option=com_timeoffkeeper PLUS WHATEVER ELSE IS IN THE QUERY STRING *AND*
If given cookie named ObSSOCookie *IS NOT* in the header *OR*
If said cookie *IS* in the header *BUT* has a value of "logedout" *OR*
The request for said URL pattern already stated did not come from one of a specific IP addresses:

My virtual host config looks like:

##   ServerAdmin webmaster@host.some_domain.com
DocumentRoot /nethome/site/html
ServerName site.com
TransferLog "|/usr/local/sbin/cronolog /var/ApacheLogs/site /%Y/%m/%d/access.log"
ErrorLog    "|/usr/local/sbin/cronolog /var/ApacheLogs/site /%Y/%m/%d/errors.log"
 
RewriteEngine on
RewriteLog "/var/ApacheLogs/site/rewrite.log"
RewriteLogLevel 5
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !ObSSOCookie [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} ObSSOCookie=loggedout [NC]
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !1.1.1.[201-202] [OR]
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !1.1.2.[139-141] [OR]
RewriteRule ^index.php?option=com_timeoffkeeper$ http://dev-wgproxy.corp.fedex.com/com_TimeOffKeeper [P,NC,L]

I can check for the cookie presence and value just fine and my rewrite rule works great for that. However when I add the part where I want to do the rewrite / proxy IF the requested URL starts with index.php?option=com_timeoffkeeper it does not proxy the connection to the WSSO provider. Iâ€™ve run my regular expression through Regex Coach and the coach says things should work. Any help you can provide is GREATLY appreciated. Have a nice day.
