    URL Rewriting Specification & Deployment Guide

    Internal Rewrite vs External Redirect

    An Internal URL Rewrite maps a requested static URL (e.g. /product/123) to an internal dynamic handler (/product.php?id=123) transparently on the server without changing the browser address bar.

    An HTTP Redirect (301/302) sends an explicit Location header telling the browser to issue a new HTTP request, changing the visible browser URL.

    Query String Append (QSA)

    In Apache mod_rewrite, the [QSA] (Query String Append) flag preserves incoming query parameters (such as ?utm_source=google) and merges them with rewritten parameters.

    In Nginx, query string preservation is handled automatically by appending $is_args$args to the rewrite destination directive.

    Preventing Redirect Loops

    Redirect loops occur when a rule redirects to a target URL that matches the original condition (e.g., /about → /about/ while another rule strips trailing slashes). Always test generated rules in a staging environment prior to production deployment.

    Production Deployment Safety

    Verify that Apache mod_rewrite module is enabled (a2enmod rewrite) and AllowOverride All is set in VirtualHost settings for .htaccess directives to take effect.
