Rewrite main.css to main-min.css

Hi,

Is it possible to use mod_rewrite to alter a request for main.css to
main-min.css?

Regards

Ben Short

Yes, but for some reason I think this is more complex. However, I will
answer given the scope given:

If mod_rewrite is active then add this to .htaccess:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule main.css main-min.css

There are no directories or special rules for this, Ben? I don't quite
understand why you even need to use mod_rewrite in this case.

Re: Rewrite main.css to main-min.css

Hi Craig,

Some background...

As part of the build process my web application minimizes and gzips
all the style sheets and javascript files.

So I end up with main.css main-min.css and main-min.css.gz.

The web page will make a request for main.css but I need to use
rewrite to return then main-min.css.gz file.

Ben

Re: Rewrite main.css to main-min.css

Never mind,

I altered my build to not include the main.css and name the
main-min.css main.css.

Thanks

No. Don't. If you have access to the httpd.conf you
should not, NEVER, put ANYTHING in .htaccess
