CGI Redirects

[SoulSurfer8]

Trying to 301 old legacy files like oldsite.com/green/red.cgi/blue/ using this htaccess code:

Redirect 301 /green/red.cgi/blue/ http://www.newsite.com/summary-page/
Instead it's redirecting to: newsite.com/red.cgi/blue/

FYI oldsite.com's htaccess file does not have any global 301 rules that would conflict

Does anyone know if cgi files require a different 301 syntax? Thanks!

Redirect 301 /green/red.cgi/blue/ http://www.newsite.com/summary-page/

is the old Redirect format, assuming your server is up to date (ish) you should be using something like:

RewriteRule ^/green/red.cgi/blue(.*)$ http://www.newsite.com/summary-page/ [L,R=301]

Thank you Toby. I'll try this out.
