[users@httpd] Removing query string through .htaccess
Hello All,
I have already gone through a no. of links for removing query strings and till now all are going back to domain.
The one I'm using presently is
``````````````
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} .
RewriteRule ^$ /? [R=302,L]
`````````````````````
As obvious the above goes back to homepage, but is there any rule set which just remove the query string and keep the url intact ?
like http://mywxample.com/any_page/?xyz should be changed as http://mywxample.com/any_page
Any help is very much appreciated.
with regards,
Bob

My guess is that you still have a broken rule in your config from earlier
attempts to get this working. Perhaps you've attempted to do this redirect
via a .htaccess file and httpd.conf and forgotten that a broken rule is
still in effect in one of those files.
Also, how are you testing this? Do you have a UNIX like system you can work
with? If so I would recommend hand-crafting the request and using the nc
command to issue it. That gives you maximum control and makes it easy to
see exactly what the web server is returning. For example, I created a file
name "g.req" with the following contents then ran ```nc localhost 80 <
g.req``` from a terminal window. Note that the last line of the file is an
empty line.
```

Hello Kurtis,
Thanks for your kind response. I have tried your rule sets but unfortunately it is working as before.
i.e. http://mydomain.com/page1/?xyz and http://mydomain.com/page1?xyz both redirect to http://mydomain.com

Works for me. Although I would write the rule like this
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !=""
RewriteRule ^ %{REQUEST_URI}? [R=302,L]
When I issue a "GET /hello.php?whatever=1" with either version I get a 302
response with
Location: http://www.skepticism.us/hello.php
Also, if you don't want to match non-whitespace I recommend \S rather than [^\
].
