RewriteRule question

Hi listmembers,

I'm having trouble getting an rewriterule to work. What I basicly need
it cutting of the end of an url, when it contains one specific keyword:

index.php?action=something&sid=robot > index.php?action=something

This is what I have now, but that does not work as I think it should.

RewriteRule ^/index\.php?(.*)&sid=robot$ /index.php?$1

Any insight?

Best,
Jacco

you need to escape the question mark in your pattern..

RewriteRule ^/index\.php\?(.*)&sid=robot$ /index.php?$1

That still doesn't work for me somehow.

My url, found on google reads like:

http://www.mailamac.nl/index.php?act...W500&sid=robot

What I want now, is that the client that clicks the url found, actually
loads this:

http://www.mailamac.nl/index.php?act...roductId=FW500

So an new session ID is created by the webstore engine.

Maybe I should not use an RewriteRule?

Thanks,
Jacco
