This is a followup question on Redirect to a new domain using apache vhost configuration
I want my requests from
somedomain.com/loadproduct?product=dell-inspiron-15
to be redirected to
someotherdomain.com/dell-inspiron-15
but selectively for some products which are whitelisted.
For example for products :
- dell-inspiron-15.
- dell-inspiron-16.
- dell-inspiron-17
redirect to the new URL but for any other products I want to use the current path itself.
Currently my vhost configuration looks like below. It redirects to someotherdomain for all the products in query parameter.
Listen 12567
NameVirtualHost *:12567
<VirtualHost *:12567>
ServerName somedomain.com
ProxyPreserveHost On
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (?:^|&)product=([^&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^/?loadproduct$ http://someotherdomain.com/%1? [R=301,L,NC]
</VirtualHost>
Questions:
- As asked above, how can I selectively redirect?
- Given that my list of whitelisted products is small (maybe some 10-11 items) what is an ideal place to store this whitelisted products and read in vhost and how.
Any leads here is really appreciated.
