i've been trying to write this rule for two days. i should posted my code. :)
the issue that i'm having is that i can't just relocate the query_string across because they differ from the CGI and the Java app. ie:
cgi = ispSelector?isp=blah
and the java =?process=enrollment&ispcrossover-enrollment.isp-code=blah
all i want to do is take the "blah" from the CGI post and slap it at the end of the ...isp-code=$1
i need to get this working asap... i'll pay money. :)
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} isp=([^&]+)
Back-references %1 through %9 can be used to access RewriteCond subpattern matches in the same way that $1 through $9 are used to access RewriteRule subpattern matches. However, within a given RewriteRule, back-references will only be available to the last-matched RewriteCond, so be aware of this restriction if you use multiple RewriteConds for a rule.
Jim
thanks very much for the tip!
this is my rule....
RewriteEngine on
RewriteLog /var/log/apache/redirect.log
RewriteLogLevel 1
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} isp=([^&]+)
RewriteRule ^/cgi/server/ispSelector.exe$ [server...] [R]
if i try and access it just redirects me to [server...] and ommits the value of $1.
update: i see where i'm going wrong, i'm referencing $1 instead of %1. oops. :)
but now, i have another issue, the redirect is working but attaches %3f behind the variable... so...
......isp-code=blah%3f which does not work. how do i get rid of the %3f?
%3f is an ASCII question mark character. It is possible that the output of this rule is being processed by subsequent rules, one of which is attempting to append an addtional blank query string. Try using a [L] flag to tell mod_rewrite to quit after this rule is invoked:
RewriteRule ^/cgi/server/ispSelector.exe$ https://server/process?process=enrollment.isp-code=%1 [R,[b]L[/b]]
[edited] Fixed %1 in rule to reflect corrected code per post #6 [/edited]

i'll scratch around and see what i can come up with. If you have anything else to suggest i'll watch for your post.
Otherwise thanks for helping out! :)
