Redirect a strange url was created by lt635
Hello,

I just developed a new website and have been through fixing not found errors from the old site using ReDJ. There is one strange url and I don't know if it is possible to redirect this to http://{siteurl}.

This is the url:
/%5E[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+.[a-zA-Z]%7B2,6%7D$/

Thank you
Kind regards

Hi Lene,
assuming the regexp is right, there are encoded chars inside, so uncheck "decode url" in the rule and it should work.

Best regards

Hi Luigi,

I tried uncheck 'decode url' but that does not work.

Here is the full url as reported from Google webmaster:
www.irlendyslexia.com/%5E[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+.[a-zA-Z]%7B2,6%7D$/

Thanks
Kind regards

Sorry Lene,
I didn't understand the URL is exactly like you wrote. It is a regular expression and this confused me. Let's start again...

The URL you find in the log is:
/%5E[a-zA-Z0-9._-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+.[a-zA-Z]%7B2,6%7D$/

So this URL starts from the browser encoded as:
/%5E%5Ba-zA-Z0-9._-%5D+@%5Ba-zA-Z0-9.-%5D+.%5Ba-zA-Z%5D%7B2,6%7D$/

You can create a rule to match it as is (decode to false), but you need to escape some special chars, so:
From URL: ^/%5E%5Ba-zA-Z0-9\._-%5D+@%5Ba-zA-Z0-9\.-%5D+\.%5Ba-zA-Z%5D%7B2,6%7D\$
Request only: true (checked)

I have dropped the last / so it will match if this is present or not. I have not tested it, so tell me if still doesn't work.

Kind regards,
Luigi
