.htaccess Redirect Long Miva URLs to Short SEO URLs - Without changing the prod codes

[cnelson]

I need a redirect that will redirect a long style url to short style url.

EX:
http://www.domain.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=H&Category_Cod e=AMI_H2
>
http://www.domain.com/c/AMI_H2.html

This redirect works if you change the CTGY or PROD code, but other wise it will go into a redirect loop:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} Category_Code=AMI_H2& [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} Category_Code=AMI_H2$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/c/AMI_H2.html? [L,R=301]

This fixes the redirect loop but makes pagination redirect you to the shor category page:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/c/AMI_H2.html
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^Category_Code=AMI_H2(.*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.hummerpartsclub.com/c/AMI_H2.html? [L,R=301]

So I was thinking something like this might work, but I cant get it to function properly:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/c/AMI_H2.html$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^domain\.com$ 
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} Category_Code=AMI_H2 [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/c/AMI_H2.html? [L,R=301]

Is there any validity to that Idea? I am thinking if your store is the referrer then it will stop the redirect from occurring. Because in this case the only time someone would get to these links would be a bookmark, or through pagination.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

Try this:

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

That worked perfectly! Thank you!
