Setting a cookie based on query string for split testing - mod-rewrite

If a query string is detected, I want to update/set a cookie so a particular dir is used for that browser session or until the query string is explicitly set again. Visitor is not to see the dir, but instead will just see http://mydomain.com/.
This is what I have so far but it doesn't work as expected. Pretty sure I'm writing the logic wrong, but not sure where.
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} splittest=(A|B)
RewriteRule splittest=(A|B) [CO=splittest:$1:%{HTTP_HOST}:0:/,L]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} splittest=A [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} splittest=A
# Split test A
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ A/$1 [L]
# Split test B
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ B/$1 [L]

Try this. I'm assuming your .htaccess is located at web root / directory.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} splittest=A [NC]
RewriteRule ^ - [CO=splittest:A:%{HTTP_HOST}:0:/]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} splittest=B [NC]
RewriteRule ^ - [CO=splittest:B:%{HTTP_HOST}:0:/]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} splittest=A [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} splittest=A [NC]
# Split test A
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ A/$1 [L]
# Split test B
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ B/$1 [L]

Remove "?" from the query string

I have decided to ditch Wordpress and move to Pico CMS instead.
Now I'm struggling with getting the URL rewriting done correctly.
I have managed to rewrite the query string from eg. https://www.example.org?page to https://www.example.org/page using RewriteRule ^(.*) ?$1 [L], but now I also want it rewritten if there is a query string.
Example:
If https://www.example.org?page is requested it loads just fine, but I want to have it rewritten as https://www.example.org/page - at least in the location bar.
I have tried several variations but to no avail. I suck at regular expressions...
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^$
RewriteRule ^\\?/(.*)$ $1
Nope
RewriteRule (^\?$) https://tanghus.net/$1 [NC,R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^.*$ https://tanghus.net/? [NC,R=301,L]
no dice
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} .
RewriteRule ^$ %{QUERY_STRING} [R,L]
Pfff
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \?\sHTTP [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %{REQUEST_URI} [L,R]
Giving up :(
You can use this Rule
RewriteEngine on
# externally redirect from /?page to /page
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /\?([^\s]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^/?$ /%1? [L,R]
# internally map /page to /?page
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^/?(.+)$ /?$1 [L]

mod-rewrite weird behaviour on rewriterule

My .htaccess file looks like this:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On # Turn on the rewriting engine
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^product/([0-9]+)/*. /tags.php?id=$1 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^page/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ /site.php?page=$1 [NC,L]
I wanted the last rule to be:
RewriteRule ^site/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ /site.php?page=$1 [NC,L]
If I change the last rule, it does not work at all. I get a 404 not found.
I have no idea why it doesn't work, is the word 'site' a registered word or...?

RewriteCond Query String .htaccess

EDIT: I must add something.First of all i want to change url display because of SEO.If i use www for reach my website there is no problem, second link is appears and everything is ok.
But if i remove "www" from link, it changing to first url and i doesn't want that.
I want to change
http://www.mysite.com/index.php?route=epson-claria-uyumlu-yazici-kartus-dolum-murekkebi-500g.html
to
http://www.mysite.com/epson-claria-uyumlu-yazici-kartus-dolum-murekkebi-500g.html
how I can do it?
I tried
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^_route_=(.*)$
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ /%1 [R=301,L]
but it is not working.
My .htaccess is
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^sitemap.xml$ index.php?route=feed/google_sitemap [L]
RewriteRule ^googlebase.xml$ index.php?route=feed/google_base [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*\.(ico|gif|jpg|jpeg|png|js|css)
RewriteRule ^([^?]*) index.php?_route_=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^route=common/home$
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ http://www.mysite.com? [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.mysite\.com$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mysite.com/$1 [R=301,L]
Maybe this is what you're looking for:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?route=$1 [L]
If you have to visually change the address bar, leave the RewriteRule in place as I described above, and put this in your index.php before any output:
if(isset($_REQUEST['route']))
{
header('Location: '.urlencode($_REQUEST['route']));
}
Initial note: I'm not an Apache guru so don't rely blindly on my answer.
I would first redirect to www. if required
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R=301,L]
Then make it go to the page indicated by the _route_ query variable
# if it is the index page...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(index\..+)?$ [NC]
# and if the query string starts with _route_=
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^_route_=(.*)$
# redirect
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%{SERVER_NAME}/%1? [R=301,L]
Server variable SERVER_NAME in last line might need to be changed with HTTP_HOST.

mod_rewrite with external redirect and internal rewrite

I'm trying to use mod_rewrite to redirect certain pages to use SSL. For that I have:
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^443$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/login(\.php)?$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/contact-us(\.php)?$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/\..*$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^dev\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^80$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/login(\.php)?$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/contact-us(\.php)?$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+)\.php$ https://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
This works fine, and does exactly what I want it to do.
Later in my .htacess I have a:
RewriteRule ^members/(.+)/change-password$ members/.change-password.php?item=$1 [NC,QSA,L]
So if a URL appears as, for example:
http://www.example.com/members/foo-bar/change-password
Internally it would be processed as:
/members/.change-password.php?item=foo-bar
Again, this works fine and is doing what I want it too.
What I now need to do is include this in my original SSL redirect logic to ensure that any change password requests are redirected to the same URL but over https instead. I've tried:
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^443$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/login(\.php)?$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/contact-us(\.php)?$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/\..*$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/members/.+/change-password [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^dev\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^80$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/login(\.php)?$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/contact-us(\.php)?$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/members/.+/change-password [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+)\.php$ https://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
But this doesn't work - I just get the page delivered over http. Changing the .+ to .* appears to put me into a permanent redirect loop.
I'm guessing this is because of the internal rewrite but no matter what I try I can't seem to resolve it.
Can anyone please advise?
Thanks,
Adam M.
A further review of the mod_rewrite documentation led me to a bit I'd missed specific to its usage in .htaccess files. Basically the [L] flag doesn't actually indicate last as per the norm. Instead you need to use the [END] flag (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/rewrite/flags.html#flag_l refers).
Of course that then led me to another issue - my hosting provider doesn't have an up-to-date installation of either Apache or mod_rewrite so the [END] flag triggered the ubiqitous HTTP 500 Internal Server Error.
So what to do? Well I went back to my original ruleset with the knowledge that [L] wasn't doing what I was expecting and spotted the error straight away - the %{REQUEST_URI} value had been updated by the internal rewrite:
RewriteRule ^members/(.+)/change-password$ members/.change-password.php?url-slug=$1 [NC,QSA,L]
Therefore changing my original redirection logic to exclude this resolved my issue:
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^443$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/login(\.php)?$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/contact-us(\.php)?$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/\..*$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/members/.+/change-password$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/members/\.change-password(\.php)? [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^dev\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^80$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/login(\.php)?$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/contact-us(\.php)?$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/members/.+/change-password$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+)(\.php)?$ https://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Apache mod_rewrite friendly URLs with corresponding 301 redirects

The Problem:
Been spinning my wheels and reading up on this one for awhile and looking for some help now. I'm looking to take a group of non-friendly URLs (there are actually more "groups" but this should me for an example):
domainname.com/?section=zebras
domainname.com/?section=monkeys&id=555
and turn them into friendly URLs, as well as do a 301 on the old versions, so that any old bookmarks (and search engines) will still resolve them. The new format I'm looking for would be:
domainname.com/zebras/
domainname.com/monkeys/555
I'm fully intending to write separate RewriteCond/RewriteRule combinations for each of those scenarios, so I don't necessarily need a super-rule that catches all my scenarios. Oh and this is all in .htaccess.
My Progress:
I was originally getting into a redirect loop because I was just doing two RewriteRules back to back - one for the friendly URL and one for the 301 redirect. Came across my favorite way (so far) around the redirect loop which works (for my scenario #1 at least):
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} !200
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^section=zebras$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*$ http://www.domainname.com/zebras/? [R=301,NC,L]
RewriteRule ^zebras/$ /index\.php?section=zebras [NC,L]
However, I'd like to have something that works for more than just "zebras" (for instance, I'd like it to work for "lions" as well), so I'm trying to make that more generic. What I am trying now looks like this:
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} !200
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^section=([a-z]+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^section=([a-z]+)$ http://www.domainname.com/$1/? [R=301,NC,L]
RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)/$ /index\.php?section=$1 [NC,L]
However, this doesn't work. I think I have something "not quite right", I just can't tell what it is - there's something I'm missing or formatting incorrectly somewhere. Sorry in advance for the lengthy description, just wanted to be clear.
Do this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} 200
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.\w+|/)$
RewriteRule (.*) /$1/ [R,L]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^section=([a-z]+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1/? [R=301,NC,L]
RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)/$ /index\.php?section=$1 [NC,L]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^section=([a-z]+)&id=(\d+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1/%2/? [R=302,NC,L]
RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)/(\d+)/$ /index\.php?section=$1&id=$2 [NC,L]
Description
Prevents looping:
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} 200
RewriteRule ^ - [L]
Prevents trailing slash problem:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.\w+|/)$
RewriteRule (.*) /$1/ [R,L]
Handles rewrites with only section=([a-z]+) in them:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^section=([a-z]+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1/? [R=302,NC,L]
RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)/$ /index\.php?section=$1 [NC,L]
Handles rewrites with only section=([a-z]+)&id=(\d+) in them:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^section=([a-z]+)&id=(\d+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1/%2/? [R=302,NC,L]
RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)/(\d+)/$ /index\.php?section=$1&id=$2 [NC,L]
mistake in your rules:
section=([a-z]+) is not available in the URI part. So, RewriteRule ^section=([a-z]+)$ never matched.
