Redirect URL that contains %20
Hello,
I need to redirect a legacy URL to a new URL. The legacy URL is similar to: http://www.foo.com/testing/old%20web%20page.htm I've tried to use a Redirect with /testing/old%20web%20page.htm, but Apache (2.0.52) doesn't seem to recognize it. I've also tried a few variations with the RedirectMatch directive, but I can't seem to find a working regexp. I thought the following might work, but I'm also a little rusty on my regexps. RedirectMatch ^/testing/old\.*?page.htm$ Any ideas? Mike K. |

Isn't %20 converted back to spaces before it enters the rewriteengine? Grtz, -- Rik Wasmus |

Re: Redirect URL that contains %20
Not sure about how Apache treats %20, but your regexp correction worked
perfectly. My URL is redirecting correctly now. Thank you, Mike K. Rik wrote: > mail4mike@gmail.com wrote: > > Hello, > > > > I need to redirect a legacy URL to a new URL.
