Apache Rewrite rules - remove '/'s in URL

  • 772

I need a Rewrite Rule for apache to rewrite urls like:

http://saftsack.fs.uni-bayreuth.de/~dun3/archives/it/programming/fast-dynamic-property-access-using-reflection-emit/33.html

to

http://saftsack.fs.uni-bayreuth.de/~dun3/archives/fast-dynamic-property-access-using-reflection-emit/33.html

So, I need to remove all / parts between the "archives" and the last /, preserving the part before the / and after the /.

apache-2.2 mod-rewrite

    Something like this should do what you want:

    RewriteRule ^(/~dun3/archives/).+?/([^/]+/[^/]+)$ $1$2 [L,R=301]

    (The final R=301 part sends a HTTP 301 Moved Permanently header, which I presume is what you want to do, but if not you can simply omit that part.)

  2. RewriteRule ^(.*?)/(.*?)/.*/(.*?)/(.*?)$ $1/$2/$3/$4
