Setting up redirects in .htaccess for all paths matching a pattern

Submitted by Benjamin Melançon on May 15, 2011 - 5:12am

In a Drupal .htaccess file, these rules must come before RewriteBase.

So:

# Various rewrite rules. <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^raw/(.*)$ http://data.agaric.com/$1 [R=301,L]

# All the usual rules
</IfModule>

That rule removes the 'raw/' from all incoming URLs and permanently redirects (301) to the non-raw version.

Some of the best writeup for this sort of URL rewriting / redirecting happens to be on a Drupal handbook page: http://drupal.org/node/38960
