HTTP_COOKIE RewriteCond失败

Question

I have the following Rewrite code in my Apache config file but I can't get it to recognize when the cookie is present. I've looked a bunch of answers on here but can't seem to find one that fixes whatever issue I'm running into.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} ^returnvisitor$ [NC]
RewriteRule .? - [S=3]
RewriteRule /index.html /new_visitor.html
RewriteRule .* - [CO=returnvisitor:yes:.127.0.0.1:1440:/:true:true]
RewriteRule .? - [S=1]
RewriteRule /index.html /returning_visitor.html

Update 1:

I've modified the code as follows and made some progress, but still doesn't act as it should.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} returnvisitor=yes [NC]
RewriteRule .? - [S=3]
RewriteRule /index.html /new_visitor.html [R]
RewriteRule .* - [CO=returnvisitor:yes:.127.0.0.1:1440:/:true:true]
RewriteRule .? - [S=1]
RewriteRule /index.html /returning_visitor.html [R,L]

The original code would redirect the homepage (ie the default page being index.html ) however, now I have to manual request index.html in the url for the redirect to trigger, but at least this time on the second request of index.html I'm redirected to returning_visitor.html .

I need the redirects to occur when accessing the hompage via example.com for the first time the visitor is sent to new_visitor.html and subsequent visits are redirected to returning_visitor.html . With out having to manual enter example.com/index.html .

You can use :

RewriteEngine on
#First visit
# if the cookie is not set
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !returnvisitor=yes$ [NC]
# serve "/new_visitor.html" 
RewriteRule /index.html /new_visitor.html [R,L]
#second visit
#set the cookie "returnvisitor" on any uri
RewriteRule .* - [CO=returnvisitor:yes:.127.0.0.1:1440:/:true:true]
#check to see that the cookie is set
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} returnvisitor=yes$ [NC]    
#if so, redirect the index.html to "/returning_visitor.html" 
RewriteRule /index.html /returning_visitor.html [R,L]

Let me know how it works for you.
