OK, I tried this on my local installation and here is what is happening. In my .htaccess I have the following line immediately after the RewriteEngine On directive.
Code:
Redirect /vb5/articles/files/browning.pdf http://localhost/vb5/articles/mobile-shops-bases/824890-jeff-browning-s-bt3000
The resulting URL that comes out is
Code:
http://localhost/vb5/articles/mobile-shops-bases/824890-jeff-browning-s-bt3000?routestring=articles/files/browning.pdf
The question mark and everything following it shouldn't be there, and no matter what I do, it adds the original bad URL after the route string. Any ideas?
--------------- Added [DATE]1475101134[/DATE] at [TIME]1475101134[/TIME] ---------------
Figured it out. Adding a ? after the redirected URL solved the problem.
