I want to redirect certain requests to a pdf depending on a get variable. nothing new, but I just can't get it to work. So I started with the basics but just redirecting a certain page to a pdf, which works.
RewriteRule ^/test\.php$ /pdf/somefile.pdf$ [R,T=application/pdf] Which works fine. But, since I want to send different pdfs depending on an ID, I need to handle urls like this one... /test.php?fileId=12 .. which in turn should redirect to ... /pdf/pdfnumber12.pdf ... so i wrote this rule... RewriteRule ^/test\.php\?fileId\=12$ /pdf/pdfnumber12.pdf [R,T=application/pdf] .. which does not work. But even when I simplify the regex to just ... RewriteRule ^/test\.php\?$ /pdf/pdfnumber12.pdf [R,T=application/pdf] ..it still doesn't work. So it seems like the question mark cannot be escaped. I even tried RewriteRule ^/test\.php[?]$ /pdf/pdfnumber12.pdf [R,T=application/pdf] .. with no luck. This one works ... RewriteRule ^/test\.php$ /pdf/pdfnumber12.pdf [R,T=application/pdf] .. damn question mark. Anyone know what I'm missing? Am I approaching this in the wrong manner? --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
