如何使用Tuckey urlrewrite重命名参数？

Question

I'm using the Tuckey urlrewrite filter with use-query-string set to the default (false). This means that the from urls don't use the query parameters to match. What I'd like to do in an isolated case is rename one query parameter, which would require matching the query-string in the from tag.

For example, I would like to do this:

<rule>
    <from>^/myPage?id=(.*)$</from>
    <to>/newPage?userId=$1</to>
</rule>

This is possible with use-query-string=true , unfortunately that would be a global change and there are many rules which would break if I change this setting.

Is there a way to override use-query-string for a single rule?

Is there a work around?

I found a hint to the answer on this unanswered question. You can use the 'backreferences' functionality, as described in the manual (although its not very clear how it works)

<rule>
    <from>^/mypage$</from>
    <to type="redirect" >/newPage?userId=%{parameter:id}</to>
</rule>
