Yes, I'm very nearly there, thanks! The only thing is, I'm not quite
sure how to combine what you have here with a RewriteMap. If I had
something like this:
RewriteMap vanmap txt:/tmp/map.txt
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/mmh/
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} \%2F(\w+)\.xml$
Then can I just do a rewrite rule at the end like this?
RewriteRule .* /mmh/${vanmap:$1}? [L,NC,R=302]
Because I tried that and it keeps failing to pull any kind of key out
of the REQUEST_URI.
