Question

I need to rewrite the following URL:

http://example.com/folder/subfolder/filename

to

http://example.com/folder/subfolder/filename.txt

I’ve tried the following:

RewriteRule ^/folder/subfolder/(.*)(|/)$  /folder/subfolder/$1.txt      [R=302,L]

However this makes to rewrites go into a loop so I will get:

/folder/subfolder/filename.txt.txt.txt.txt (etc)

Any idea how to make my rewrite rule work?

Answer 1

You need a rewrite condition:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.txt$

before the rule. I cannot test this at this very moment, but I’m sure, this is what you need.
