.htaccess replace question marks and slashes from URL

Question

I'm trying to do this by using .htaccess

Redirect: http://example.com/en/signup?type=something

To: http://example.com/snapshots/en_signup_type=something.html

Basically, convert all slashes and question marks to underscores and appending .html .

Answer 1

I found out how to do, there are actually a few more steps than I thought.

1. Replace all slashes with underscores, RewriteRule ^(.*)\\/(.*)$ $1_$2 [R=301,L] , based on the number of slashes we have, it will redirect the same amount of times, one redirection will convert one slash to one underscore.

http://example.com/en/signup?type=something -> http://example.com/en_signup?type=something

2. Convert the query string (change question mark to underscore)

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.com/snapshots/$1_%{QUERY_STRING}.html? [P,L]

The question mark after .html is to prevent the query string to be appended again.
