Htaccess 301 regex question

[scanlin]

I need some help with a regex for htaccess. I want to 301 redirect this:

http://olddomain.com/oldsubdir/fruit.aspx

to this:

https://www.newdomain.com/newsubdir/FRUIT

changes:

• different protocol (http -> https)
• add 'www.'
• different domain (olddomain and newdomain are constants)
• different subdirectory (oldsubdir and newsubdir are constants)
• 'fruit' is a variable (which will contain only letters [a-zA-Z])
• is it possible to make 'fruit' UPPER case on the redirect (so 'fruit' -> 'FRUIT')
• remove '.aspx'

I think it's something like this (placed in the .htaccess file in the root directory of olddomain):

RedirectMatch 301 /oldsubdir/(.*).aspx https://www.newdomain.com/newsubdir/$1

Thanks.

You would use

<%@ Language="VBScript" %>
<%
' ASP permanent URL redirect - generated by www.rapidtables.com
Response.Status="301 Moved Permanently"
Response.AddHeader "Location", "https://www.newdomain.com/newsubdir/FRUIT"
Response.End
%>

try

I hope this helps,

Thanks, Tom. But 'fruit' was a placeholder for a variable page name that can contain letters or a '.' (sorry if that wasn't clear). for example, 'fruit' could be "abc.def.aspx" and I'd like it to become "ABC.DEF" (strip off the .aspx and uppercase it). Need a regex. The '.' within 'fruit' may or may not be present. But the page will always have the suffix '.aspx' that I want to strip off.

I'd also like to do it with an .htaccess statement instead of VBScript. Running on unix.

Hey Tom,

I guess this was mostly a regex question. I think I figured it out:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^olddomain.com$
RewriteRule ^oldsubdir/([a-zA-Z.]+).aspx$ https://www.newdomain.com/newsubdir/$1 [R=301]

Thanks for the tips.
