Hello ... I'm fairly new at working with apache ... My question is if it is possible to read the queryString in apache ? Each parameter ?

Thanks ...

Hi

Apache sets a QUERY_STRING environment variable and the CGI scripts can access it.

What do you want to do exactly ?

For instance ...

I have a swf file that takes a language parameter ...

http://mydomain.com/container/index.swf?lang=EN

The parameter "lang" can have different values and for the value FR I want to redirect it to another page.

http://mydomain.com/container/index.swf?lang=FR

--> redirect to other page ...

Is this possible ?

Hi

Apache does everything to be possible, but Flash must be able to access the environment variables. Better ask more in the forum250 ( Macromedia Flash ), they know more about Flash capabilities.

Yes ... I know ...

It's an external developed flash component ... So I don't have the source ....

Oops, I missed the redirect part.

That is indeed pure Apache task, not related to the Flash itself. For example, using the [tt]mod_rewrite[/tt] :

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} \blang=(fr)\b
RewriteRule \.swf$ [URL unfurl="true"]http://google.com/search?q=%1[/URL] [NC]

If the query string contains the lang parameter with a two character code,and the request is for a file with .swf extension, then redirects to Google to search for that language code. Put this code in a .htaccess file in the directory on where it applies.
