Apache redirect & rewrite

Question

This is my page http://example.com/index.html . I would like to make it work like this.

• I would like to take the user to http://def.com when he requests http://example.com/index.html
• Even if he requests http://example.com/index.html?headers=0, he should be taken to http://def.com
• But if he requests the same URL with other query parameters, say for example http://example.com/index.html?footer=1, then the redirect or rewrite shouldn't happen. He should still be seeing the response from http://example.com/index.html?footer=1

I have already tried

    RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$
    RewriteRule ^/index.html$ http://def.com

Answer 1

Change your htaccess file to this:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !headers
RewriteRule ^index.html$ http://def.com [R=301,L]

Answer 2

Change your htaccess file to this:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(headers=0|)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^index.html$ http://def.com [R=301,L]
