[users@httpd] Stripping query string except from specific URL

[Dave Wreski]

Hi,

We have a situation where we need to strip a query string from all URLs 
except ones matching a particular pattern. However, when I try the rules 
below, it redirects to the homepage for some reason.


In this example, I'd like to strip off the query string from all URLs 
except those involving /resources/blog:


RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/resources/blog
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^start=
RewriteRule (.*) https://guardiandigital.com$1    [L,QSD]

What am I missing?

Thanks,
Dave

To remove the query string, see the QSD flag, or append a ? at the end of
the target.
