redirect if url contains uppercase

[trampman Profile]

Hi all

im trying to create a rule that checks the url and if it contains upper case characters redirect them to the same url but all in lowercase.

can anyone help

Hello,

You'd need to use CL-flag.

CL (Case Lower)
Changes the case of substitution result to lower

So the rule would look like:

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule (.*[A-Z].*) /$1 [CL,R=301,L]

Hi thanks for that

im using the following code

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule (.*[A-Z].*) /$1 [CL,R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^/sitemap$ /index.php?params=sitemap [NC,L,I]

so if I browse to www.mysite.com/SITEMAP it redirects to www.mysite.com/sitemap but then can't find the page index.php

Strange, shouldn't be this way.
Ty to enable logging and provide us with rewrite.log for a testing request. Logging issues are described here - http://www.helicontech.com/forum/10648-FAQ.html

hi log output as requested, thanks for the help by the way

(1) Htaccess process request D:\inetpub\wwwroot\test\httpd.conf
(3) applying pattern '(.*[A-Z].*)' to uri 'SITEMAP'
(1) escaping /sitemap
(2) explicitly forcing redirect with http://192.168.50.2/sitemap
(2) internal redirect with /SITEMAP [INTERNAL REDIRECT]

(2) init rewrite engine with requested uri /sitemap
(1) Htaccess process request D:\inetpub\wwwroot\test\httpd.conf
(3) applying pattern '(.*[A-Z].*)' to uri 'sitemap'
(3) applying pattern '^/sitemap$' to uri 'sitemap'
(2) init rewrite engine with requested uri /favicon.ico
(1) Htaccess process request D:\inetpub\wwwroot\test\httpd.conf
(3) applying pattern '(.*[A-Z].*)' to uri 'favicon.ico'
(3) applying pattern '^/sitemap$' to uri 'favicon.ico'

[HeliconAndrew]

Here's the answer:

(3) applying pattern '^/sitemap$' to uri 'sitemap'

You see the '/' in the pattern? Just remove it from the rule.
