Adding rule to htaccess file to rewrite or redirect filename

[sensei]

Good Morning,

I have an optimizer on our MIVA store and with the changes to the store, what used to produce links for me in this format:


http://www.***********.com/product/S_GMD_1_DIG-DLD-zip.html


Is now updating to...


http://www.***********.com/product/S_GMD_1_DIG-DLD.zip.html (change is “.zip.html)


The problem is that when I update the page, it updates the new link, but leaves the old one alone. I can get to those old static html files and place redirects on them, however there are thousands of them….


So instead of redirecting all the links, can the htaccess be rewritten to say the following?


-zip.html rewrite or redirect to .zip.html


AND


-pdf.html rewrite or redirect to .pdf.html


Thanks for your time in advance.

Re: Adding rule to htaccess file to rewrite or redirect filename

This should work:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/product/(.*)-zip\.html$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/%1.zip.html [R=301,L]
