This is the old URI pattern /release-(\w+)/(\w+)/(.*), where first and second regex pattern are always the same, with the following examples:
/release-foo/foo/(.*)/release-bar/bar/(.*)- etc
They are consolidated under one folder (i.e. /release), in the new version:
ROOT └── release ├── foo │ ├── ... │ └── ... ├── bar │ ├── ... │ └── ... └── ... With this RewriteRule config:
RewriteRule "^/release-(\w+)/(\w+)/(.*)$" "/release/$1/$3" [L] all of these redirects work:
/release-foo/foo/(.*)=>/release/foo/(.*): This is intended/release-foo/bar/(.*)=>/release/foo/(.*): This should NOT be allowed/release-foo/baz/(.*)=>/release/foo/(.*): This should NOT be allowed
My question is what can I put as the RewriteCond here? Is this even possible at all?
RewriteCond expr "$2 == $1" <-- what do I need to put here? RewriteRule "^/release-(\w+)/(\w+)/(.*)$" "/release/$1/$3" [L] RewriteCond expr "$2 != $1" <-- what do I need to put here? RewriteRule "^/release-(\w+)/(\w+)/(.*)$" "/release-$1/$1/$3" [R,L] What I'm trying to do is check two backreferences in RewriteCond that if $2 is equal to $1 (e.g. /release-foo/foo/) let it be processed. But if they are different (e.g. /release-foo/bar/) externally redirect it to the correct URI. I will need RewriteCondotherwise it will stuck in infinite loop.
I've tried almost everything from Expressions in Apache HTTP Server, even hard-coding doesn't work, like this:
RewriteCond expr "$2 == 'foo'" Any pointer is very appreciated.
