Apache 2.4.54 - implementing mod_rewrite and Query String Preservation
I'm working on a project and hit a roadblock. I'm having trouble with I'm working with an scenario with Apache 2.4.54 where my mod_rewrite rules do not seem to properly preserve the query string when redirecting requests. I'm trying to redirect all requests from `/old-path` to `/new-path` while ensuring that any query string parameters in the original request are maintained. I have the following configuration in my `.htaccess` file: ```apache RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/old-path RewriteRule ^old-path(.*)$ /new-path$1 [R=301,L,QSA] ``` However, when I test the redirect, the query string does not appear to be preserved. For instance, if I hit `/old-path?foo=bar`, I get redirected to `/new-path` without the `?foo=bar`. I've also tried modifying the rule like so: ```apache RewriteRule ^old-path(.*)$ /new-path$1 [R=301,L,QSA=1] ``` But that doesn't seem to change the outcome either. I’ve checked the Apache behavior logs and there are no relevant entries. Additionally, I've verified that mod_rewrite is enabled with `apachectl -M | grep rewrite` showing `rewrite_module (shared)`. I've also confirmed that no other conflicting rules exist in the same `.htaccess` or in the main configuration files. Any insights into why the query string is not being preserved would be greatly appreciated, as it’s critical for our application's functionality. I'm working in a Linux environment. Cheers for any assistance! What's the correct way to implement this?
