I have a static mockup page, which I want to customize by switching a variable used in image-src and link-href attributes.Paths will look like this:<img src=/some/where/VARIABLE/img/1.jpg alt= /><link rel=some href=/some/where/VARIABLE/stuff/foo.bar />I'm setting a cookie with the VARIABLE value on the preceding page and now want to modfiy the paths accordingly by replacing VARIABLE with the cookie value.I'm a htaccess newbie. This is what I have (doesn't work): <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>    # get cookie value cookie    RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} client=([^;]*)    # rewrite/redirect to correct file    RewriteRule  ^/VARIABLE/(.+)$  /%1/$1 [L]    </IfModule>So I thought my first line gets the cookie value and stores this in %1. And on the second line I'm filtering VARIABLE, replace it with the cookie value and whatever comes after VARIABLE in $1.Thanks for sheeding some light on what I'm doing, doing wrong and if I can do this at all using htaccess.EDIT:I'm sort of halfway through, but it's still not working... Mabye someone can apply the finishing touches: <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>    # check for client cookie       RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} (?:^|;\s*)client=([^;]*)    # check if an image was requested       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} \.(jpe?g|gif|bmp|png)$    # exclude these folders    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !some/members/logos      # grab everything before the variable folder and everything afterwards    # replace this with first bracket/cookie_value/second bracket    RewriteRule (^.+)/VARIABLE/(.+)$ $1/%1/$2 [L] </IfModule>Still can't get it to work, but I think this is the correct way of doing it.
Rewrite img and link paths with htaccess and serve the file from rewritten path?
htaccess;mod rewrite
Solution: (after much meddling...)<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>   # exclude these folders   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/some/members/logos     # check for client cookie           RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} client=([^;]*) [NC]          # replace variable with cookie value   RewriteRule ^(.+)/variabel/(.+\.(jpe?g|gif|bmp|png))$ $1/%1/$2 [L]</IfModule>The tricky part, which took forever to solve is to make sure your cookie has a trailing semi-colon... I had my cookie set like this:    document.cookie = client=valuewhich did not work at all. After changing to this:   document.cookie = client=+escape(value)+;it worked. Semi-colon... Maybe this save somebody half a day of searching :-)
