Redirect file access via htacess

Question

Good when user type some file with the .txt I have to send it to an authentication file called download.php

Example, if user type www.meusite.com.br/documento.txt I have to redirect him to the archive download.php.

I’m trying to do it like this:

RewriteRule ^(.+)\.txt$ Download.php

But instead of redirecting it is opening the txt file in the browser normally.

Someone knows how to do it?

Answer 1

Brother, you could try this :

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_\-]+)\.txt$ download.php?arquivo=$1

Anything started contains letters from a to z in lowercase and from A to Z in uppercase, underline or dash containing one or more characters preceded by . txt redirect to download.php passing as parameter get the name typed without the . txt.

Or you can do:

RewriteRule ^(.*)\.txt$ download.php?arquivo=$1

Anything preceded by . txt redirects to download by passing the get parameter the file name.

Note that if your server has Nginx in reverse proxy with apache and the extension (mime-type) has been set. txt to resolve on Nginx without redirecting to apache, this rule will not work. You must execute the rewrite directly in the Nginx vhost or remove the . txt extension from the Nginx-defined mime-types and resolve the rule in apache

vlw!

What happens is that the rule you’re using is not redirecting, it’s rewriting the path, to redirect, you need to use the redirect rule, try doing it this way:

RewriteRule ^(.+)\.txt http://www.meusite.com.br/Download.php [R=301,L]

Answer 3

The rule itself seems correct, already tried to mark it as passthrough [EN]

Type

RewriteRule ^(.*)\.txt$ download.php?arquivo=$1 [PT]
