I tried to add another parameter to the query string and now the different parameters are getting merged together I am not sure if my error is in the RewriteCond or in the ReWriteRule. Any ideas?
URL -> http://localhost/test_rpc/header.jsp?tkn=xyz&userid=mylogin HEADERS PASSED: tkn: xyz;var2:mylogin userid: (null) RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} tkn=(.*)&userid=(.*) RewriteRule ^/test_rpc - [E=var1:%1;var2:%2] RequestHeader append tkn %{var1}e RequestHeader append userid %{var2}e thanks for your help On Sat, Sep 24, 2011 at 10:44 PM, Suneet Shah <suneetshah2...@gmail.com>wrote: > Mark, > > Many thanks for your help.
