redirect a url with space

redirect a url linking to us with a space

[pavolyeh]

hello all
we have one linking to us with a space at the end (www.example.com%20/)
how can I redirect it to our homepage?
Thanks

Do you want to redirect only this URL with a space, or any URL with a space?

The code is a trivial one-line RewriteRule with [R=301,L] flags.

[pavolyeh]

can you please explain a bit more how to do that
thanks

[pavolyeh]

wouldn't it be something like this RewriteRule ^\ $ http://www.example.com/[R=301,L]
?

More like:

RewriteRule ^(.*)\ $ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

If that doesn't work, or if you want to remove *any and all* percent-encoded trailing characters, then something like:

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]+\ /([^%?\ ]*)\%[^?\ ]*(\?[^\ ]*)?\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^ http://www.example.com/%1%3 [R=301,L]

Thanks Jim
sorry but didn't work, any other ways to do it?
Thanks

try RewriteRule ^test%20test%20test.html [domain.com...] [R=301]

[pavolyeh]

in my situation the spaces are at the end of the url
www.example.com%20/

A link with that error is unlikely to resolve to your server at all, since the top-level domain is invalid.

If it doesn't resolve to you server, then nothing you do on your server will have any effect.
