Jack's questions

I am a php developer and have recently decided to make one of my Magento extensions commercial. I have downloaded and configured MageParts CEM Server and that is all working perfectly in regard to licencing and delivery of module packages. The only issue is that the directory that the packages are stored in could be accessed by anyone. I tried this in a .htaccess file, but now it is not working.

<Files services.wsdl>
allow from all
</Files>

deny from all

Clients are receiving a 403 Forbidden response. Have I done something wrong in the .htaccess file or would there be a better way to secure the directory?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Someone has incorrectly linked to some of my urls causing 404 erros in Google Webmaster Tools.

Here is an example

Linked URL: http://www.example.com/foo-%E2%80%8Bbar.html

Correct URL: http://www.example.com/foor-bar.html

I would like to 301 redirect any instance of this kind of incorrect linking to the correct URL. I have tried the following but it generates 404 Errors site wide.

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on    
RewriteRule ^foo-(.*)bar\.html$ http://www.example.com/foo-bar\.html? [L,R=301]

Could anyone let me know what I am doing wrong?

How would I go about rewriting:

http://www.example.com/foo.html?order=desc&limit=all&something=else

to

http://www.example.com/foo.html?order=desc&something=else

I want to remove all instances on limit=all regardless of how many other parameters in the url.

I have tried:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.*&)&limit=all(&.*)?$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^foo\.html$ /foo\.html\?%1%2 [R=301,L]
