.htaccess - 301 Redirect with Space After .htm

Question

I am trying to do a 301 redirect in my .htaccess from "http://example.com/article.htm k" to "http://example.com/article.htm". I've tried doing,

Redirect 301 "http//example.com/article.html k" http://example.com/article.htm

as above and and with %20 and [s] in place of the space for the k. None of these seem to work. I'm thinking the problem is because the space is after the .htm rather than before it. Any ideas on how to fix this or what the problem could be? Thanks.

Answer 1

You need to use Redirect as

Redirect 301 /article.html k http://example.com/article.htm

or use RedirectMatch (to specify a regex)

RedirectMatch 301 /article.htmlsk http://example.com/article.htm
