.htaccess redirect with product and category in the URL

[lesliekirk]

I'm trying to redirect a number of long style product URLs that have the category codes in them to the short style URL

http://www.domain.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=ABC&Product_Code=XYZ&Category_Code=123

Here's what is already in place

### Begin - Dynamic to Short Link 301 Redirect

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-s
RewriteRule ^product/([^/.]+).html$ /Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_code=$1 [QSA,L]


RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-s
RewriteRule ^category/([^/.]+).html$ /Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_code=$1 [QSA,L]


RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-s
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/.]+).html$ /Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Category_code=$1&Product_code=$2 [QSA,L]


RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-s
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+).html$ /Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=$1 [QSA,L]


### End - Inserted by Miva Merchant


RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=ABC&Category_Code=(.*)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/category/%1.html? [R=301,L]




RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^Screen=PROD&Store_Code=ABC&Product_Code=(.*)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/product/%1.html? [R=301,L]

I did try this

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^Screen=PROD&Store_Code=ABC&Product_Code=(.*)&Category_Code=(.*)$RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/product/%1.html? [R=301,L]

but still wound up with a URL like this

http://www.domain.com/product/productcode&Category_Code=123.html

what am I missing?

Re: .htaccess redirect with product and category in the URL

This:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^Screen=PROD&Store_Code=ABC&Product_Code=(.*)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/product/%1.html? [R=301,L]

would match on both:

Screen=PROD&Store_Code=ABC&Product_Code=XYZ&Catego ry_Code=123

and

Screen=PROD&Store_Code=ABC&Product_Code=XYZ

because .* means zero or more of anything. Try changing that one to:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^Screen=PROD&Store_Code=ABC&Product_Code=([^&]*)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/product/%1.html? [R=301,L]

That should match on the text of the value up to anything but ampersand, so if there isn't one, no problem, if there is one, it and whatever comes after it are ignored.
