redirect url and banning

Feb 16, 2018, 1:21 PM

Post #1 of 3 (603 views)

Hi,

I have changed an URL from:

https://www.mysite.com/word1-word2/

https://www.mysite.com/word3-word2/

and changed my .htaccess accordingly.

I have successfully banned www.mysite.com/word1-word2 without the
ending / but not with / ending using:

ban req.http.host ~ www.mysite.com/word1-word2

and

ban req.http.host ~ www.mysite.com/word1-word2/

So option without ending /, 301 redirect works but with / doesn´t.

I have googled around but I haven´t found any solution.

Regards,

Miguel

The issue was on the .htaccess redirect, I had to use:

RewriteRule ^word1\-word2/?$ "https\:\/\/www\.mysite\.com\/word3\-word2
[R=301,L]

instead of:

RewriteRule ^word1\-word2$ "https\:\/\/www\.mysite\.com\/word3\-word2
[R=301,L]

Sorry!

None worked, it was probably a coincidence that one appeared to work.
The host header should only contain the authority, so the ban you are
looking for is rather:

ban req.http.host == www.mysite.com && req.url ~ /word1-word2/?

That should take care of both cases in a single ban.
