301 redirect intercepting GET parameters?

Question

URL Handling

Hello, I have the following problem:

I need to make a 301 redirect with GET parameters removed.

Here is what I wrote in htaccess:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /product-category/cpap/
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^pa_brands=mercury-medical
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://mysite.com/catalog/sistemy-dlya -cpap-therapy/ ? [R=301,L]

I was supposed to get: https://mysite.com/catalog/sistemy-dlya-cpap-terapii/

and I end up with a URL with GET parameters:
https://mysite.com/catalog/ sistemy-dlya-cpap-terap...

What could be causing this problem?

Answer 1

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (?:^|&)pa_brands\=mercury\-medical(?:$|&)
RewriteRule ^product\-category/cpap/$ /catalog/sistemy\-dlya\-cpap\-terapii/? [L,R=301]
