htaccess 301 redirect - 删除查询字符串（QSA）

Question

I've been struggling with some htaccess redirects. I just spent some time reading and searching on stack and couldn't get an anwser that works with my scenario.

I'm in the process of making the 301 redirect for an old client website to a new one. The old pages has parameters query which I want to remove from the url.

/menu.php?idCategorie=29&idDetail=172

to

/new-website-page/

I have multiple queries to do, here's a couple example:

/menu.php?idCategorie=29&idDetail=172
/menu.php?idCategorie=29&idDetail=182
/menu.php?idCategorie=29&idDetail=184
/menu.php?idCategorie=29&idDetail=256

Which all link to different new pages.

Here's what I tried:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} idDetail=172
RewriteRule ^menu.php(.*) /new-page/? [R=301,L]

I get redirected correctly, but the URL keeps the query string:

http://website.com/new-page/?idCategorie=29&idDetail=172

I also tried this:

RewriteRule ^menu.php?idCategorie=29&idDetail=172$ http://website.com/new-page/? [L,R=301]

And this:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} idDetail=172(.*)$
RewriteRule ^menu.php /new-page-name?$1 [L,R=301]

And it didn't work (Still have the query string at the end)

Thanks!

Answer 1

You can use this rule:

RewriteRule ^menu\.php$ /new-page-name? [L,R=301]

Take note of trailing ? in the end which is used for stripping off any existing query string in the original URI.

In addition to anubhava's answer you can alternatively use the QSD flag from Apache 2.4.0

RewriteRule ^menu\.php$ /new-page-name [L,R=301,QSD]
