I can happily skin the output of php scripts using redirect-to, the

Unfortunately, some of the php scripts I want to use like this take
query parts in the URL to set parameters. I can't see how to get hold
of those in a matcher or selector. I can catch
"this/that/theother.php" and skin it, but how do I get hold of the
parameter from "this/that/theother.php?var=42" to feed that to the
FileGenerator?
Thank you for the quick and informative replies. I think they can be
summed up as simple redirection is not possible because the query parts
get disassembled. I would need to re-build a new URL if the original has
an unknown list of parameters. The mechanisms work on known parameters.
I still don't understand your use case since you have not described it.
It is therefore difficult to give accurate information. However, if you
have an unknown list of parameters then you probably want the
RequestGenerator. This will create an XML document from any query data.
You can then use that in a pipeline and processes it like any other
document.
I linked to the RequestGenereator in my original reply.
What confuses me is how you intend to make use of an unknown set of
parameters.
