So, your URLs are just extensionless? /foo maps to /foo.php? Presumably you have other directives in your .htaccess file that handle this? (Or are you using MultiViews?)

In that case, it would be /product-configurator.php. If this can be handled in PHP, how would I redirect/rewrite the referrer by testing the HTTP-REFERER url?

"the if exists on both /product-configurator and /bikes-configurator" - so why do you need to redirect/rewrite the request? Shouldn't the Referer just be checked in PHP and act accordingly?

But that's not a PHP file. When you request /product-configurator, Apache needs to route the request to a physical script in order to handle the request. (eg. Many CMS's have a front-controller that sends all requests to index.php.)

It's /product-configurator (but the if exists on both /product-configurator and /bikes-configurator)

| Oct 23, 2019 at 11:05 | comment | added | MrWhite | So which PHP file is handling the request? | |

There's a PHP test - something like if (isset($_POST["bike"])) { do stuff ...}

How is /bikes-configurator then routed in your app? (This presumably does not map directly to a physical file?)

If there's a way rewrite internally then that's even better, but I need to retain the POST data (I thought a 307 redirect was the only way of doing this). The 3rd party does nothing except POST to my site - they don't issue any GETS. The rule would just need to work for any traffic coming from the referrer with that string bikes=1 in the HTTP_REFERER string

| Oct 23, 2019 at 8:58 | comment | added | MrWhite | Any specific reason why you want to externally "redirect" the request rather than internally "rewrite" the request - as the destination appears to be on the same server? (Does the 3rd party follow redirects? Or is this simply a request via a browser?) Are you only wanting to "redirect" POST requests? (Your example rule with also redirect GET.) | |
