How to test for < and > characters

[frankp Profile]

Hi, I have searched high and low on how to do this. I need to test the uri and query string for the "<" and ">" characters and can't seem to do this. Right now I have:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (?:\<) [NC]
RewriteRule .? - [F]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (?:\<) [NC]
RewriteRule .? - [F]

Thanks for any help,
frank

Hello,

I was able to make the following work:

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^test>a$ - [G]

this throws me GONE with no issues when requesting "/test>a". However you may look for some extra info regarding flags NE,NU here.

Regards
Andrew
