Re: Redirects with query string

The query string is separated from the URL before matching, as the docs clearly say:

What is matched?
The Pattern will initially be matched against the part of the URL after the hostname and port, and before the query string. If you wish to match against the hostname, port, or query string, use a RewriteCond with the %{HTTP_HOST}, %{SERVER_PORT}, or %{QUERY_STRING} variables respectively.

I got this to work (in case anyone needs the same thing). `RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^f=12 RewriteRule ^viewforum.php http://www.newdomain.com/forums [R=301]` [download] That makes anyone coming to http://www.mydomain.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=12 get redirected to http://www.newdomain.com/forums.
