Thanks! This helped me solve a problem I’ve had because of people linking to my site with dynamic urls with one-time use unique numeric codes.

So now I have this as part of my htaccess:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*)ACTION=thispage&thispage=english\.html&ORDER_ID=238720166$
RewriteRule ^cgi-bin/ras/perlshop.cgi$ school/english.html? [R=301,L]

It works. Wonderful!

I hope it’s kosher kode. ;)

Thank you!

The same here; I spent hours trying to figure this out. You’d think this is a very common thing people do, but I didn’t find a solution until I came across your post.

I have been working on sending query string sitelink url’s to new seo friendly ones all day and this is the article that made it happen for me. I really appreciate your time with this post… I found several .htaccess approaches but yours is the one that worked.

Thanks again, My client will not even know what this involved but I’m sure they will appreciate the traffic.

cheers,
Justin
