Hi,
You should probably escape “less than” and “greater than” signs on this page, so that Apache directives are not mistakenly interpreted by browsers as empty tags…

Thanks for the information!

Something’s wrong here. Your examples don’t make sense.

E.g. under”Target all files that end in .html or .htm” the box following this “However, it accepts a regular expression. For example:”
is empty.

On top, the examples for “Using the Files Directive” and “Using the FilesMatch Directive (preferred)” are exactly the same two lines, etc. Not helpful.

Hi There

Wondering if you can help me. I’d like to use the x-robots-tag to set a specific URL type to noindex in the server header.

Using your example:

Header append X-Robots-Tag “noindex”

The url I’d like to block is:

http://seogadget.co.uk/tools-to-speed-up-your-site/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+seogadget+%28SEOgadget%29

but allow:

http://seogadget.co.uk/tools-to-speed-up-your-site/

So, I thought something like:

Header append X-Robots-Tag “noindex”

Might work. Am I close? Can a ?utm_source style query string be detected in this way? I think it’s a glaring error in my syntax, but I could be wrong.

Many thanks!

I am looking for one smart guy to answer this question.

PURPOSE:
I am trying to set the referrer as a cookie on every page but except 404 error page. Then, I can truly capture the real referrer at the time of a missing image, because when an image missing, error.php shows the its own page where it was missing, but I like to know the previous page where users came from. I hope you got my point. Thank you all.

Options All -Indexes
 
RewriteEngine On
 
 # is this correct? what is the negation?
Header set Set-Cookie "my_referer=%{HTTP_REFERER}e; domain=.site.com"
 
ErrorDocument 404 /error.php
