Htaccess redirect all to index.php not working if param starts http:// or www

Question

I’m using that .htaccess to redirect all after slash to my index.php param :

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

But then im trying to go mysite.co/http://someurl.co or mysite.co/http://www.someurl.co (mysite.co/www.someurl.co redirecting well) im getting error

You don't have permission to access mysite.co/http://www.someurl.co on this server.

Answer 1

mod_rewrite engine strips all double slashes to single ones in RewriteRule so you cannot match http://www in RewriteRule. Use RewriteCond instead with THE_REQUEST parameter.

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/+(\S+)
RewriteRule ^ /index.php?q=%1 [L,QSA]

Answer 2

Your code is unclear. What are you trying to do? This is the standard WordPress .htaccess which appears close to what you are attempting. Perhaps using that would work better:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

Answer 3

RewriteRule ^http\:\/+.*$ index.php?q=$0 [L,QSA]
