How to handle referers at end of URL

10 Dec 2012, 18:14

Several years ago I hired someone to rewrite my URLs to make them friendly but I've realized when referrers are added to the end of the URLs I get a 404.

For instance Facebook adds a long referrer to the URL on a liked page:
?fb_action_ids=4878469770534&fb_action_types=og.likes&fb_source=aggregation&fb_aggregation_id=246965925417366
which 404's

Is there a solution for this?

Here is the rewrite rule for the page in question:
[ISAPI_Rewrite]

# 3600 = 1 hour
CacheClockRate 3600

RepeatLimit 32

# Block external access to the httpd.ini and httpd.parse.errors files
RewriteRule /httpd(?:\.ini|\.parse\.errors).* / [F,I,O]
# Block external access to the Helper ISAPI Extension
RewriteRule .*\.isrwhlp / [F,I,O]

RewriteRule ^/(.+)-(.+)/(\d+)$ /addetail.asp?CarID=$3&make=$1&model=$2&r=1 [I,L]


Thanks!

Hello,

Please try to fix your rule like this:

RewriteRule ^/(.+)-(.+)/(\d+)(?:\?.*)?$ /addetail.asp?CarID=$3&make=$1&model=$2&r=1 [I,L]

This worked perfectly for me too :)

Return to ISAPI_Rewrite 2.x
