Mapfile to redirect to remote URL

[JohnnyW2M Profile]

Hi,

I frequently use the following code with a mapfile in order to rewrite URLs within a site. However I need to use the same method but to result in a remote URL.

RewriteMap mapfile txt:mapfile.txt

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*)$
RewriteCond ${mapfile:%1|NOT_FOUND} !NOT_FOUND
Rewriterule ^product\.aspx$ /${mapfile:%1}? [NC,R=301,L]

Here is what I need it to do:

http://myfirstsite.com/product.aspx?productid=12345

to redirect to

http://mysecondsite.com/someotherpage

with the mapfile reading:

productid=12345 someotherpage

Thanks!

Hello Johnny,

Please try adding the domain name to the resulting URL like this:

RewriteMap mapfile txt:mapfile.txt

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*)$
RewriteCond ${mapfile:%1|NOT_FOUND} !NOT_FOUND
Rewriterule ^product\.aspx$ http\://mysecondsite.com/${mapfile:%1}? [NC,R=301,L]

That did the trick!

Thank you very much!
