Redirect 301 and question mark in URL

Question

CMS

You need to redirect a number of pages to new addresses. The problem is that the pages contain a question mark and therefore the redirect via the htazzes of the form does not work:

Redirect 301 /?module=View&category=ololo site.ru/new

And the character / question mark is not escaped. Can you tell me how to make a redirect in this case? Only a monster crutch in php came to mind, which will issue on all pages of the site:

IF you are on a page like this, THEN header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");

Is there any correct and "clean" solution to the issue with the question mark in the URL and the redirect?

Answer 1

For example like this

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^foo=bar&bar=baz$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com [R=301,L]

Answer 2

if ($query_string ~ "^?module=View&category=ololo")
 { 
  rewrite ^(.*)$ http://site.ru/new redirect; 
  }

works great.

Answer 3

So the backslash is used for escaping \

Answer 4

nginx: [emerg] pcre_compile() failed: nothing to repeat in "^?
