[users@httpd] RedirectMatch regex question.

[Michael Bellears <Mi...@staff.datafx.com.au>]

Wondering if someone can please assist with the following two
RedirectMatch regex's (My regex skills are zilch!)

RedirectMatch /main.cfm?=page&content&id=946
http://www.domain.com.au/privacy.html
RedirectMatch /main.cfm?page=unsubscribe
http://www.domain.com.au/unsubscribe/index.html

The ".", "?" , "&" + "=" signs probably need escape char in front of
them, but every combo I've tried fails miserably!

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
MB

Using mod_alias to deal with the query string is not, in general, a good idea.

Try mod_rewrite instead.  For your second Redirect, it would look
something like this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^page=unsubscribe$
RewriteRule ^/main.cfm http://www.domain.com.au/unsubscribe/index.html [R]

But be sure to consult the mod_rewrite docs.
