HTacess 301 redirect with special characters

[LegiPermis]

Hello moz community !

I would to make a special 301 redirection through my htaccess file. I am a total noob concerning regexp and 301 redirection.

I would like to redirect(301) this url :

http://www.legipermis.com/stages-points/">http://www.legipermis.com/stages-points/</a></p>;

yes yes it's in the index of google, this strange url includes the last ;

to

http://www.legipermis.com/stages-points/

I have already include a canonical tag by security, i would like to remove url with a 301 redirection and by remove this url through GWT (but the removal tool can't "eat' this kind of URL)

Please consider the fact that i am not an expert about 301 redirections and regexps. No 301 redirect generator works properly for such a strange URL (which triggers content duplication corrected anyway with canonical tag).

Thanks for your help.

Hello Elodie,

The only characters I've ever had trouble with on page-to-page redirects are equal signs (because = is an operator) and question marks (because ? typically indicate a query string). The equal signs have to be escaped out, and the question marks require use of mod_rewrite.

I don't see either of those things in your URL. Have you tried a simple redirect yet? Like this...

Redirect 301 /stages-points/">http://www.legipermis.com/stages-points/</a></p> http://www.legipermis.com/stages-points/

If that doesn't work my advice would be to hire a developer. You can probably find one who can implement the redirects for under $50 on a site like Rent-a-Coder or Freelancer.

You should just need to put quotes around the URI:

Redirect 301 "/stages-points/">http://www.legipermis.com/stages-points/</a></p>" http://www.legipermis.com/stages-points/

This looks like it's a bad linked formed on the site though and I'd try to find that and clean it up.
