Issue Trying To Redirect Based On A URI With Hex

[johngiggs]

I have a URI that I'm trying to redirect back to the homepage on my site. For some reason since it contains hex I can't seem to get it to work.

A sample source URL is:

http://mydomain.com/by/topic/net/pa...e/3/page/4/page/5/page/6/page/7/page/8/page/7

The destination URL is:

http://mydomain.com

I've tried many different things to no avail. Some things include:

RewriteRule ^/(.*)REG_LOGINfromURL(.*)

http://mydomain.com

[L,R=301]

RewriteRule REG_LOGINfromURL

http://mydomain.com

[R=301]

Some tests with RewriteMap escape int:escape.

Nothing has worked thus far.

Can someone please help me out?

Redirecting source URLs with REG_LOGINfromURL will get me what I need. Some of my examples work when the source URL does not contain hex, so if the URL was instead

http://mydomain.com/by/topic/net/page/REG_LOGINfromURL=http://test.com

it would redirect.

Thanks,

John
